I nearly lost it in the dental care aisle of Target the other night—too many toothbrushes to choose from. Seriously, there must have been nearly 200 different types on display. I didn't know where to begin. Why I should be made to decifer and contemplate MEANINGLESS differences in type, features, benefits?? Either it has bristles or it doesn't. Either it's a toothbrush or a stick.
Other than size and softness/firmness differences; any dentist will tell you that they are all the same. It's HOW you use it that makes the difference–don't you remember those little pink pills in second grade? Oh, I'm ranting…but really…
Does having so much choice TRULY improve our lives?
