Apparently, toothpaste isn’t just for brushing your teeth.
It turns out that toothpaste, that wonderful product that makes your teeth clean and your breath fresh, actually has a lot of uses outside of your mouth. Its chemical components and fresh scent can help us out with a bunch of different things. It’s weird to think of toothpaste being used for anything besides cleaning teeth, but some of these other uses are pretty cool.
1.) Bug bites
Rub some toothpaste on the bite to help relieve itchiness.
2.) Blemishes and zits
Put toothpaste on your blemishes overnight to help dry them out.
3.) Cleaning sneakers
Use a toothbrush and toothpaste to make your dirty sneakers look like new.
4.) Fingernail cleaning
5.) Cleaning jewelry
Brush some on to give your jewelry a brand-new shine.
6.) Removing odors from your hands
Put some toothpaste on your hands before you rinse. It goes a long way in removing any food odors.
7.) Removing crayon from walls
Don’t freak out and think you’ll need a whole new coat of paint – just use some toothpaste and get rid of those wall scribbles.

While I’ll still enjoy using toothpaste the old-fashioned way, I think I’ll end up using all of these uses for toothpaste in the near future. Now, I just have to stock up!
