Quiz: Conserving Dental Resources

When you’re purchasing your dental hygiene products for your smile, do you ever feel like you might be spending more money than is necessary? Perhaps sometimes it feels like you just bought all of these items and here you are, again, purchasing a toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss. Not to worry! By taking our quiz, you may be able to identify areas that you can tweak slightly, so you’re sure you’re conserving those dental products of yours without spending an extra dime.

Quiz Questions: True or False?

1. True or False: It’s easy to make sure you’re not wasting toothpaste by considering one of two approaches. First, use a toothpaste accessory that helps you get every last bit out of the tube. Second, you should carefully measure out one pea-size dab per brush session to avoid using more than is necessary.
2. True or False: It’s a good idea to check the expiration dates on items that you’re purchasing, especially if you’re stocking up, so you don’t finally get to the product only to find it’s expired.
3. True or False: Avoid feeling like you’ve wasted money on expensive dental hygiene items by keeping budget brushes, floss, and paste on hand for visitors (who may end up using the item for just one use). You should purchase pricier items for yourself (if you wish).

Quiz Answers

1. True. Follow these approaches and you will no longer waste a single dollop of toothpaste!
2. True. It’s always a good idea to avoid buying bulk items unless the expiration date gives you more than enough time to use it all up!
3. True. A budget-friendly dental hygiene item is good enough for you, so it’s good enough for guests! If you want to splurge, save this part of your budget for your own long-term use!
