Put a drop of oregano oil in toothpaste. It is a great bacteria fighter.

Use Minty Toothpaste It usually energizes and makes you instantly awake, and alert

and improves mental sharpness

and memory.

That’s Oral Hy-Genius

Around 200 B.C., Greek athletes were so idolized that their SWEAT was prized as having magical benefits, and used in hair dye and toothpaste.

All together now:

EWW!!
