The truth is, fake toothpaste is one of the hardest to prove, and to make things worse, the fakes keep getting better everyday. But I’ll give a few tips that may help you. Fake toothpaste is VERY common and if you’re in Nigeria, there’s a chance you’ve used fake toothpaste at some point. There’s even no guarantee that the one she’s comparing it against is not fake, that’s how bad it is. You hear people complain about brushing regularly and still having cavities and other tooth issues, this is one of the reasons. When buying toothpaste, make sure to get it from a reputable pharmacy, supermarket or if you can, directly from the brand’s site. This is the best method. It reduces the chances of buying fake by a lot! Before you use the toothpaste at all, check the container properly, see if the logo and spellings on it are correct. If you’re not sure what it should look like, check Google or the brand’s site for what it should ideally look like. Just like a fake Samsung will come as Sansung, or Adidas will come as Abibas, you may something similar in the wordings on it, if you check carefully. Check for details like production date, expiry date, size and lot number. Make sure they are cleanly stamped on it. Make sure these details match on both the tube and the box. If they’re missing or don’t match, it’s a red flag! When you buy an original one (that you’re sure is original), it’s a good idea to keep a little of it so that you can compare the looks, and consistency, just how the lady in the video is comparing. It will help you detect it even before putting it in your mouth. When you start using it, if it feels, smells or foams different from what you know it to be, it’s also a red flag, stop and check it properly. Overall, it’s hard to tell but you are more likely to avoid a fake if you follow these tips. I wish everyone good oral health! x.com/General_Somto/…
