For a lot of reasons, I hate brushing my teeth.  So it's nice to have found a toothpaste that's the opposite of everything else on the shelves.

Ganodenma Reishi Propolis Toothpaste is almost the Anti-Toothpaste.

Walk down the toothpaste aisle of a store and you're assaulted by an array of products that are essentially the same, though each of them screams to you that it is different. Special. Unique. Each brand wants you to believe that it alone will clean your teeth, freshen your breath, and invigorate your sex life.

I'm waiting for a toothpaste that promises I can learn to play the piano with regular use. 

Brushing your teeth is like shaving or cleaning your ears: it must be done so we do it.

But toothpaste makers try too hard to make brushing your teeth fun and exciting. They add all sorts of chemicals; fluoride I can understand because it's actually good for teeth, and detergents help it foam up. But the flavorings linger for hours and spoil everything else I enjoy.

Coffee, juice, milk, soft drinks all taste awful after tooth brushing.

So I was impressed with Ganodenma Reishi Propolis Toothpaste.

It doesn't try to entertain me while brushing, and it doesn't try to make me think I'm brushing my teeth with candy.

Instead, the stuff has almost no flavor and it doesn't howl with sweetness.

Reishi mushrooms have been used for thousands of years to treat arthritis as it helps renew living bone and cartilage. Teeth, too, are living tissue and benefit from reishi.

So, do I now love brushing my teeth? No. It's still a chore of personal hygiene. But at least when I'm done brushing I can enjoy a cup of coffee.
