Today, I found out why my teenage daughter won't brush her teeth properly. Apparently, my son convinced her that toothpaste has tons of calories. FML

But you don't even swallow toothpaste, so why would it be a problem even if it did have calories?

Wow. That's excessive. If you can't change her mind, tell her to use baking soda. Although, you really should talk to her because being that obsessive seems unhealthy.

Being that dumb seems unhealthy too. Sorry but the facts are there. FYL for raising that child.

Yep, just one of the consequences I faced with my older brother. Only, I was 3 at the time and he said it was poison, not calories :p

Toothpaste doesn't clean teeth... The brush does it ! Stop to believe advertisers and ask dentist!

That's like washing your hands without soap..

Oups ! Not sure you have understood how it works ! Toothpaste is not an antiseptic.... Listerine is. Toothpaste doesn't clean the teeth ! The brush does. Toothpaste gives fresh breath, nothing else !

If your son can convince her then you probably could too.

Even if toothpaste had calories, she should still use for healthy teeth, it's not like a few calories will hurt her

It's fine you don't need toothpaste to brush your teeth anyways. Ask any dentist toothpaste it just for good smelling breath really
