Toothpaste is a paste or gel used to clean and improve the aesthetic appearance and health of teeth. It is almost always used in conjunction with a toothbrush. Toothpaste use can promote good oral hygiene: it can aid in the removal of dental plaque and food from the teeth, it can aid in the elimination and/or masking of halitosis, and it can deliver active ingredients such as fluoride to prevent tooth and gum (Gingiva) disease. Most people in developed countries consider toothpaste a necessity and use it at least once a day.
I was just listening to the radio this morning and there was a news story about companies selling their products in China. In this story they started to get into toothpaste and they interviewed a Chinese Proctor & Gamble marketing executive who helps sell Crest products in China. He explained how the most popular toothpaste flavour in China is green tea. The P&G executive also explained how the average Chinese values traditional herbal type products and that Crest markets dozens of toothpaste products to various small markets across China in an effort to meet the different region's expectations. Interestingly enough he also said that Mao Zedong never brushed his teeth but rinsed his mouth with green tea stating that "a tiger never brushes his teeth". Still today, there are millions of Chinese that do not brush their teeth.
So, what do you prefer in a toothpaste?

If you could have any flavour toothpaste in the world, what would it be?
