#but I definitely feel like it'd be worse if we just had toothpaste chilling on our teeth for an extended period

I need you all to know the special prescription toothpaste we've been given is called "Duraphat 5000" which feels like the name of a weapon made by a cartoon supervillain

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #we're supposed to also get a normal toothpaste for sensitive teeth and actually apply that to our teeth and leave it on overnight #and I'm realising that's going to be sensory hell and we might not actually be able to do it #because normal toothpaste makes our mouth feel bad (like it kind of burns as if it's spicy but cold instead of hot?) #and we'd also get really paranoid about swallowing it #like the lingering mint taste after brushing normally already does that so this would be so much worse #plus we usually feel kind of queasy after using toothpaste and idk if that's from being paranoid about swallowing it #but I definitely feel like it'd be worse if we just had toothpaste chilling on our teeth for an extended period #and I don't think we could handle that #I feel like I'm getting sensory overload just from thinking about it and I can feel myself getting shaky and panicky #so that's not great
