Advantages: Addictive and wacky pink!, clean teeth and gob in general, no fluoride

Disadvantages: very Wierd at first, strong, people give up on it before they appreciate it fully!!

Euthymol! I saw it on the shelf in Asda (which is supposed to be one of the cheaper supermarkets, which it may well be but this toothpaste is far cheaper in Semichem) and I thought I had to have it, as I love to try new gadgets, products, bits bobs and eccentricities. The latter of which was what I catergorised Euthymol as.
And I admit, that the smell, as the pink stuff oozed out that night, confirmed my suspicions, that this was some wierd paste. And furthermore I admit that I swore when I first put it into my mouth! The taste! So strong!
But I scrubbed away, and my teeth felt this new clean! Yes, I was that amazed, that I went back and brushed them an hour or so later because I loved the way they felt.
The first week or so took a bit of getting used to, but now I actually LIKE the taste. It progressed from being some powerful antisceptic type goo to being normal as any other toothpaste, and now it seems to taste good. Perhaps its the conditioning of associating it with having the cleanest teeth you could imagine. If you put it neat onto your tongue, it can get a bit numbing, but not excrutiatingly so, and you know its killing anything nasty in there.

It does remove stains and makes your teeth a nice natural white, but I do keep a standby whitening toothpaste (like Aquafresh Total plus Whitening- also good stuff)for when I'm going on big night, and I want to make my teeth that bit extra sparkly, but I find whitening toothpastes don't work so well if you use them all the time.

I don't want to bore you anymore with my oral hygiene, but a few stolen facts from other ops, incase this is the only you read:
Euthymol doesn't containg fluoride which is apparently very bad for you (my knowledge of chemistry said as much), but I thought, 'come on, they put it in the water' and presumed it was good for you in the right doses, bit like red wine, but apparently its not to be swallowed if at all possible. If this worries
you- use Euthymol.

On the other hand, its makers Warner Lambert are seemingly partners of Pitzer Inc (think that was the one) who, if you believe the other op are Bad Commercial dudes. So, ethical issues prevail. But to stick up for the pink stuff, if it does bother you who makes your toothpaste, then the chances are Colgate made by Colgate-Palmolive, and probably everyother large company are getting their hands dirty somewhere, and perhaps you should check it out.
(Have I just set off the anarchist, anticapitalist activists??)

But back to Euthymol- try it and hopefully you'll love it as much as I do.
By the way, I have no fillings or dental problems, although I've only been using Euthymol for the last 18 months. (Don't give your kids too many sweets, especially not fizzy juice, thanks Mum. I cleaned the tarnish of my silver bracelet with Cocacola yesterday, but that's another story!)
