What do you do when you run out of tooth paste?

If i were in a hurry, I would do two things: 1. Wash my mouth and rinse my teeth with soap 2. Grab something to eat (plain bread or something) 3. If i could grab a cup of coffee, that'd be great Nice post..

Well if theres no toothpaste I use mouthwash and brush with that. And I make a point to get to the store that day. If I didnt have toothpaste or mouthwash I would use hot water and brush.

We can brush without with plain temporary for one day . Also plain without paste can spoil the germs in our tooth.

I do not allow this to happen. I always take adequate precations so as not to run out of tooth paste suddenly. If by chance this kind of situation arise, I can use salt and baking soda for cleaning my teeth.

OO i have never come across that situation but if it did i guess run to the garden and cut a neem twig and chew that! Grandma's way!

you useeeeeeeee floss? or mouthwash or just gargle and eat a lotta mint for crying out loud!!! lol

I usually don't run out of toothpaste...because I always have one in stock and the moment I pick it up to use, I restock again. lol...a housewife learns how to keep a well-stocked house:) The main reason why I do that is because my husband usually picks up a new tube even when the one we are using is not done....then I give him the half used ones when he is travelling.

Brush your teeth with Baking Soda,duh.

This is funny because it has never happened to me so far because I always buy toothpaste when I'm almost finish.

I always keep some Orbit Brush-Aways in my bag - they're like these little blue things you put on your finger, and brush your teeth with, to quickly get rid of plaque, they're not as good as actually brushing your teeth (obviously!), but they're pretty good, and like 99p each. The only problem is that they tend to burn your lips a little - but, having said that, as long as you don't use them too much, you should be okay.

Mostly i have backup tooth paste. Must be weird to hear but i do got it. What i mostly do is buy couple of them. So it never bugs me if i run out of tooth paste.

hi, i either use the liquid mouth cleaner or else lime and salt as a replacee of tooth paste, or dant manjan (red colour)..generally salt is always available at home and at times even dant manjan is there so these are generally used when i donot have a tooth paste.

i just wash my mouth with mouthwash if there is no mouthwash also in my house i will use only salt scrub in my teeth and gargle it or if i have a mint leaves in my frigde i will chew some and give good smell in the mouth and when im already outside the house i will buy some chewing gum to add some smell in my mouth:-)

Well I brush my teeth without toothpaste and then use mouthwash. If I have no mouth wash I will use a mint and or gum. At home I never run out of toothpaste because my mom buys it and she's pretty on top of it. Sometimes when I'm traveling I will loose it. Generally I am with someone else so I will just borrow their toothpaste.

This has never occurred to me yet. If it would then I think I would do without the tooth paste. Bala, how about trying it today (without the hangover of running out of the white gel? I will and let you know. a big toothpasty smile...

Hi balasri! When I run out of toothpaste I will you some baking soda it works well. And it takes care of that bad breath.LOL

I just brush without it, or even with a dab of mild soap or something. We have baby soap, so that would work for me. I need to get a mini toothbrush and toothpaste to keep in my purse or something, or those brush-ups things, so I can brush my teeth after lunch at work. I keep catching myself eating things I shouldn't and then worrying about blasting my customers with bad breath.

Hi & Hello my friend Balasri, Of course the answer would be for 'chlorophyll type' chewing gum, to avoid bad breath and the most effective solution to this kind of problem while waiting for the new toothpaste avails. HAPPY DAPPY.

I haven't realy had experienced running out of toothpaste but just in case so, i will use the other toothpaste that's in my bag which is supposedly for use whenever i eat out. Or if really in a hurry maybe i'll just gargle with a mouthwash.

I would brush with just water, then use mouthwash. Brushing without toothpaste doesn't do much, but it would make me feel better at least.
