Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for March 16, 2025

So true. Way too many options. I just use what the dentist tells me to use, which something I buy at the dentist.

Herbal with baking soda. Best kind

“For attracting a young, handsome, wealthy prince, who’ll propose marriage on the first date” – ah, THAT’S the toothpaste!!

Always , always look for anti-bacterial. At age 58 still no cavities. Also Mentos gum. Sweetener has anti-bacterial.

Going down the toothpaste aisle at WalMart is exactly like this! Can there really be that many formulas for toothpaste? I do look for the ADA recommended one though. Surprisingly many aren’t.

Just choose the one with the best taste. They’re all the same!

if you google it, there’s no toothpaste that will actually whiten your teeth

My dentist said it doesn’t matter, except for fluoride. Buy what’s on sale or whatever you like. It’s a good brushing that counts.

You want one with sodium flouride and a minimum of nasty dyes and sundry chemicals. Or if you really value your dental health, go listen to Ellie Phillips, a dentist on Youtube.

Well, so much for K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid). Ha. I’m so with comic Cathy in the last panel on this one.

HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.

That’s how I feel whenever I try to buy just about anything anymore…especially if it’s something new I haven’t tried before… but even the ones I have tried before change.
