Stannous flouride
I’m one of today’s Lucky 10,000!
It turns out our old neighbor Stannous has been quietly plugging away: taking out the trash, attacking those problematic bacterial infestations, protecting your gums.
I never really knew there are two kinds of toothpaste, and Stannous flouride is apparently just… better in every way? I thought all the marketing of upscale toothpaste was simply marketing and nothing else.
It is a bit more expensive, for sure. Apparently most of its bad rap comes from the early iterations in the 50s, where it went bad quickly, stained your teeth, and tasted horrible.
All of that appears to be solved now. It tastes/feels perfectly fine, and seems to make my gums feel better.
Maybe I’ve fallen for the marketing.
