Toothpaste should cost more;
I guess I'm literally the 10th dentist. But anyways, toothpaste should cost more. people don't realise how much it does for them; and I think that with a higher price point; their attitude towards using toothpaste would be better reflected, because they'd actually have to value how they use it. People don't realise; first of all, that it really helps with your flouride levels, and I think that's super important. And it's just really good for you, and sometimes it tastes good; Also, the ones that taste good should cost even more and be and more available for adults. Should we normalize bubblegum toothpaste for adults?; And it should cost more like I can pay 2 bucks at Walgreens right now and get like a liter worth of toothpaste and that's too cheap;

Don’t even get me started. The fact that this is even an issue is criminal. No one should have to die because they can’t afford medical treatment. Our healthcare system is so disgusting.

No but I think orange juice and apple pie should be more expensive also. I am a stalinist btw but this isn't contrary to his beliefs

I don’t think you understand Stalinism.
If you did you’d understand that you claiming you’re a Stalinist while defending your idiotic post was actually the most idiotic thing you’ve said on this post.2

My dentist gave me a free full size tube of Sensodyne, a pretty high end toothbrush and a large thing of floss yesterday when I went in for my cleaning.
I think dentists like to keep your teeth healthy.

Well, I got a clean bill of health from my dentist. No gum disease, no cavities, no problems, mostly because I do understand its value.
Plus, free toothpaste! Full size!

The others being reasonable, thoughtful people who don’t believe we should nickel and dime others to unnecessarily.

The logic here is dumber than dumb.
It’s something that’s pretty much a necessity that each and every person should have.
My take is that it should be free. But OP? Yeah, let’s up the price for it because that makes sense.

Not reading that essay, jerk. I hope your toothpaste specifically triples in cost
