You must use a lot of toothpaste to finish a tube in 2-6 weeks

Nah I just brush super thoroughly
I live with my family -
One tube of toothpaste lasts me 14 months. I'm not joking. I started a new one January 2023 and It just ran out at the beginning of March 2024.
because you know how the instructions on the tube say that small children only need a "pea-sized" amount of toothpaste? well the same is true for adults.

Toothpaste commercials put comically large amounts onto toothbrushes to fool people into buying several times more than they need.

Little tip: use the edge of your counter to flatten it out nicely (just grab the bottom part and run it against the edge, both sides)

Agreed, leading into a quick personality test:
Do you squeeze from the back cleanly, or do you just make a fist around the middle like a subhuman animal?
-
The former, as I'm sure most distinguished individuals on Lemmy do.

If you use up toothpaste in 6 weeks you are using waaaaay too much: You need no more than a pea sized dot twice a day.
Yeah, I agree with this guy.
You're just the Lemmy version of me, obviously biased.
Thrice a day*, but otherwise yeah.
Looks like someone is gunning for extra stickers from the dentist...
Whut. When are you brushing?
I only do it once a day even - the flossing part before bed is by far the most important iirc.
Floss and brush before bed is probably most important, yeah, but I feel gross if I don't brush in the morning. If I'm feeling lazy and my mouth feels relatively clean, I'll use mouthwash but usually it's toothpaste.
I learned this when I got an electric toothbrush. It only has room for about a pea sized blob and it's surprising how far it goes.
