Hi EvolGarlic here, here's another good from your Blogletter called EGG! :

Self-care is a word that I never thought of beforehand; yes, I enjoy snacks and a dose of milk, and I think I am healthy enough, but that is aged well, like milk left in the old fridge that was unplugged, and then it was in a summer storm.

But then, it caught up with me, the consequences of ignoring a healthy lifestyle and just being a modern caveman who eats and barely brushes.

Because during the 2023-2024, I was getting a surprise hit from the part of my mouth: Toothache, and yes, I was dumb and slowpoke into this self-care thingy, I was fixing the problem at the tip of the problem, not the root of it, as I using the herbal mouthwash and the herbal toothpaste to tackle the pain issues.

And then I paid it dearly, as one day, while I was chomping down the sticky rice, a hidden and sneaky little rock in one of the rice I was molding into my mouth hit the problem tooth and then chipped it.

At first, I didn't notice until my tongue checked out; that was the moment that I realized that my tooth, the No. 31 Molar, was chipped.

So, as my instinct goes, the modern caveman one, I thought that it was a chipped piece that could be filled with a filler; just let the dentist know the situation and let them do the work of filling it up; that statement will be soon aged very well.......

As I walked into the dentist in my town hospital, I received what I had never seen coming: the dentist was telling me that the chipped teeth were decaying ones, among the rest of the healthy teeth, and if I left, that tooth would be a problem in the future, so the best choice I can make it right now is to remove it.

That answer left me in a very unlikely dilemma, a slap of truth that I have no choice but to take the answer: would I ignore it again just like I did it many years ago and expect the worst outcome ever? Or remove that one tooth and start a journey of self-care. It is unknown to me, and I never commit to it?.

After many seesaws in my mind, one side that wanted to be comfy in a comfort zone, and the other side that wanted to do this self-care thing for real, I decided that if I was going to change my life habits to make myself happier, I have to step into the unknown of self-care (yes, I think like that) journey, I have to start with a bang.

So after going to the dentist the next day, nervously sitting in the front of the office, and a few of left and right of the dentist work, the No. 31 molar teeth were gone, I was biting my gauze and walked away from the hospital without the No. 31 molar, I was sitting in the hammock to start this journey, thinking what I should buy for this journey of "Self-care"?

But don't expect me to go search on that day; oh no, I was a little bit of a genius, I was researching the essentials of the things I needed to take care of my chomping machine, including the toothpaste that I needed to use for taking care of my teeth.

And after a thoughtfully thought-out, I was able to find the "toothpaste": Dentiste Max.

Dentiste Max, a toothpaste from the brand known for its premium price toothpaste that might put a hole in your wallet but the benefit is good, has released a new toothpaste that was built for "dry brushing" which is the most effective way to take care of your teeth (which I know this method before and using this technique since I discover that when i have my second toothache)

So, after I brought it from the 7-11, it was time to unbox it and place it in the bathroom, where it will be served as a "food chomping cleaner" till I squeeze the last gel out of it.

Hi EvolGarlic here, welcome to the new article series on the EGG, where me, the modern caveman, has deciding to start a self-care routine, with a heart and curious mind that will take on the task of taking care myself with the products that are essential for self-care, welcome to "EvolGarlic's Modern Caveman Self-care" and in this first installment of the first journey: here's what i have learn about this toothpaste named "Dentiste Max" while using it for 7 days+

(Less to almost no foam, or a visible one)

This toothpaste must think twice, because it was unlike any I've ever used; it felt less foamy in my mouth, but not so much that you don't feel like it was on, even there.

Feels like a watery toothpaste that has a consistent gel-like effect, but it feels weird in the first few uses, like it was not foamy enough, like what I am used to.

(How does it feel, what is it leaving in your mouth?)

If I can describe it, it was like a minty attack, freezing and middle-level strong, but I can stand it, because I grew up, and my mouth is a space for a breath that could be dangerous, so yes, I do love this minty taste

And hey, unlike many other you-know-what toothpastes, this guy is free of :

SLS, Gluten, Alcohol, Paraben, Sugar, and Plastic Microbeads.

(Do I want to keep using this?)

To be honest, although it was unique and really nice to experience the toothpaste that was built to be dry brushing, the price of just one tube was really expensive, even though I bought it when this tube was on a discount (the original price was 100+ baht, but the discount price is 75-ish baht) i would not buying this as a main roaster, because it is little more expensive than usual.

But this kind of price was kinda right for it, because it was a premium product, so I don't even mad about it, because to be honest, my money management is not that good, but it is nice to try it, and that's count.

That's what I have learn so far, and this product is one of the many more that make the path to healthy living for me, the modern caveman.
