I am madly curious. Thu Jan 25 20:52:34 -0800 2007 57371 operagirl 1 2228394 Gum? I guess that doesn't really count as chowing htough Thu Jan 25 22:06:51 -0800 2007 2228209 66937 crystaw 1 2228409 peppermints taste Fantastic! Thu Jan 25 22:16:05 -0800 2007 2228209 22477 jbyoga 1 2228603 Choose your toothpaste wisely. But then some people brush their teeth so that they won't eat anything for a while..in that case, stay with those big mint flavors. Fri Jan 26 01:38:28 -0800 2007 2228209 10422 HLing 1 2231703 When I used to use peppermint toothpaste, I used to rinse with Kamchatka vodka for what I called the poor-man's schnapps... Now that I am on the wagon (for a couple weeks until my temp P.O. goes on vacation), I use cherry-flavored toothpaste, so sometimes I rinse with Coke for a tasty cherry-coke vibe. Evan Fri Jan 26 17:57:39 -0800 2007 2228209 22193 evans 1 2231711 Well, hello! Most of us brush our teeth when we're finished eating for awhile, not before a meal. Do you actually brush your teeth before eating? Fri Jan 26 18:02:09 -0800 2007 2228209 11995 pikawicca 2 2237087 When I wake up and shower, I always brush my teeth at the same time. And then I go downstairs to eat breakfast before I run out of the house. Hence the quandary =). Sun Jan 28 23:04:17 -0800 2007 2231711 57371 operagirl 3 3577098 Yeah, the idea of eating something after waking up in the morning without brushing your teeth really grosses me out. I'd rather deal with the first couple of bites of gross food than not brushing my teeth. Aside from mint, I also like to drink water after I brush my teeth. Gives it a nice minty zing. Wed Apr 09 10:00:49 -0700 2008 2237087 10763 Miss Needle 1 2232373 I brush twice a day like the dentist tells me I should...but I don't let it get in the way of my meals, no. If I have time to brush just before lunch...so be it. Sometimes I don't have time to brush after dinner - too sleepy - so I just rinse with something astringent & cleansing like Kamchatka or Coca-cola Evan Fri Jan 26 23:25:34 -0800 2007 2228209 22193 evans 2 2237088 Coca-cola, ey? I'll have to buy a can so I can try that one! I kind of like the perversity of rinsing with a sugary beverage! Sun Jan 28 23:05:56 -0800 2007 2232373 57371 operagirl 1 2234419 Elgydium toothpaste is one of a few brands out there that doesn't clash disgustingly with food. Sat Jan 27 20:53:31 -0800 2007 2228209 25825 F Schubert 2 2234595 Elgydium is great, but hard to get outside of NY...and sometimes, inside of NY, too. Sat Jan 27 23:17:07 -0800 2007 2234419 10422 HLing 3 3543400 HLing, where precisely have you seen Elgydium toothpaste in NY? Sun Mar 30 13:25:58 -0700 2008 2234595 48389 racer x 1 2237780 Nothing tastes good after toothpaste to me, which is why I brush my teeth last thing before I go to bed so I don't have to taste anything! Mon Jan 29 08:21:21 -0800 2007 2228209 67657 Kajikit 1 2255606 Coffee. Well, after mint mouthwash, or even after an Altoid, its good.......

Weird, I know. Sun Feb 04 08:03:57 -0800 2007 2228209 23389 charmedgirl 1 3543413 I've discovered that the super-pulpy orange juice doesn't taste quite as nasty after brushing as the pulp-free kind. I don't know why, that's just the way it is. Sun Mar 30 13:33:35 -0700 2008 2228209 153129 Antithesisofpop 1 3543429 I've found that brushing with bicarbonate of soda powder has no effect (or nearly no effect) on the taste of food and beverages afterward. It also keeps the breath smelling fresh much longer than the standard commercial toothpastes. Plus, it's a lot less expensive than toothpaste and has a mild natural whitening effect. The only major downside is that it does not contain fluoride - but I'm not sure how important fluoridated toothpaste is for cavity prevention in adults, particularly those living in areas with a fluoridated water supply. Sun Mar 30 13:40:57 -0700 2008 2228209 48389 racer x 2 3575132 That's what I do. I have a fluoridated water supply and have begun brushing with baking soda instead of artificially flavored toothpastes. Like it much better.

Tastes like a thin mint cookie for the first couple bites :) Sun Mar 30 15:38:54 -0700 2008 2228209 107212 Azizeh Barjesteh 1 3543809 thin mint girl scout cookies. but it sort of defeats the purpose of having brushed your teeth Sun Mar 30 16:37:40 -0700 2008 2228209 120357 Chocolate Toe 1 3543959 I use cinnamon toothpaste in the morning so it won't interfere with the coffee. Sun Mar 30 17:38:00 -0700 2008 2228209 80141 ccbweb 1 3543996 Cold apples, We would brush our teeth just before we ate it chilled. In the 70's apples was few and far between in the West Indies, so when we were able to buy them my mother would put them in the fridge and ration them out while we watched the one and only channel on TV.
