The Toothpaste Personalities


Toothpaste ~ so many brands,
so many options from each brand.

THE TRAVELER: Some people are so committed to their brand that if one store doesn't carry their specific favorite, they will head to other stores to hunt it down. Finding it is a personal quest. And when they find it, they stock up - after all, what if their one and only becomes discontinued? 

THE ADVENTURER: Other people are more adventurous ~ making their way through the toothpaste aisle, reading every box, they are open to trying something new with the hope of covering all the bases of their dental needs. It's their own personal experiment.

THE EASILY INFLUENCED: Some people are motivated to search out a specific kind after seeing an advertisement. They see it, believe it, want it, buy it! Done!
 
THE I'M-NOT-CHANGING-FOR-ANYTHING: Then there are those who have never and will never make a change. From their earliest recollection, they have been using the same brand. And why not? It worked then; it works now!
 
THE DEAL SEEKER: These savvy shoppers are all about finding the very best deal. If it has fluoride, they are a good to go and feel a certain amount of satisfaction from saving money.
 
Dargan & Miller, D.D.S. do not recommend one brand over another (nor will they divulge their personal favorites). Here's a good rule of thumb: seek out the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance  - it's there to help you make good choices. According to the American Dental Association, "Not all products submitted for the Seal meet the ADA’s stringent requirements. In fact, to obtain the ADA Seal companies frequently are asked to meet higher standards than what is required by law. The ADA Seal is never sold. No profit goes to the ADA when a company earns the Seal. The ADA Seal is not an endorsement of a particular product; rather it is designed to help you know that claims made on the label say what they do and do what they say. These claims are approved by the ADA before the product ever hits the market." 
 
So, inquiring minds want to know ...
what toothpaste personality are you?
what kind of toothpaste is your favorite?
