They convinced people that foaming chemicals equal clean teeth.
Now bathrooms everywhere smell like mint-flavored poison.
The average toothpaste tube is a chemical cocktail - fluoride, detergents, glycerin, dyes - dressed up as “oral care.”
You could strip paint with half of it, but hey, the label says “fresh.”
Fluoride dulls the brain. Glycerin coats the enamel so it can’t remineralize.
The bubbles come from the same detergent used in dish soap.

Then they chase it with mouthwash - alcohol strong enough to kill a houseplant - because marketing told them their own mouth is dirty.
Our ancestors brushed with salt, ash, clay, and bone.
They had no dentists, yet kept their teeth into old age.
The modern mouth glows white under LED ads and rots quietly underneath.
If your toothpaste needs a warning label, it’s not hygiene.
