The last time I visited my dentist, he reminded me that I should be brushing my teeth at least twice a day and he encouraged me to aim for a third. So you know what I did? I asked him: “do you only use toothpaste to brush your teeth? Because I never imagined that it could do THIS!” At which point, I proceeded to take him on a guided tour of 19 incredible toothpaste hacks, ranging from cleaning his car headlights, to removing the foul odour of skunk spray. My dentist was so impressed that he even gave me a free toothbrush. And you’re going to be impressed as well, because I’m about to take you on that very same journey of toothpaste tricks glory. Next time you buy some toothpaste, I suggest you pick up the jumbo size.
