You can by a quart sized dispenser and you can fill it with toothpaste or whatever you want. I would guess that the only toothpaste available in the size you want, would be the bargain store stuff from China that contains antifreeze.
They used to sell a ceramic holder with a large cotter pin in it to hold toothpaste tubes upright on the counter. The flattened crimped end was inserted into a slot and would slip into the pin, which could be wound to squeeze the paste toward the cap. A new tube wouldn’t fit until you had used enough paste to be able to flatten the end some, though.
The way I get all the paste out of the tube is to flatten a bit of tube at the crimp, then hold the tube flat against an edge or outside corner of a wall (I use the bathroom door jamb) and pull. This will flatten the tube, forcing the paste toward the cap. Repeat as required.
Sorry, been out of town for a day. No we’re not a huge family, its just two adults and a teen on the weekends here. We do brush 3 times a day, maybe 4 if we’re headed out somewhere special. And yeah, I do tend to squeeze a lot of paste on the brush, just like the picture on the tube. Guess that’s not good after all. :smack:

Two times a day is what I’ve heard as being ideal. If you brush too much you can actually rub the enamel off of your teeth (which my mom did when she was young and is pretty much the equivalent of a mega-sized cavity.)
Since you guys are going through a single tube at 26X the rate of a single person or 8 2/3rds that of a three regular people, if you changing to brush 2/3rds as many times in a day, you all are still using nearly six times the amount of toothpaste per single brushing as most people use. :eek: (Assuming my math is right.) Toothpaste pictures probably show only double the amount that is appropriate, so somewhere you’re still losing a lot. You might want to check that your teen isn’t squirting out the bottle into the sink for fun, or that no is adding more on midway through the brushing, or some other weird thing.
Well, I was once a teenager, and had a sister who at one point was also a teenager, and combined with my parents, of which, Mom is a dental hygenist, so we were encouraged to brush often, and well, and both of us had braces, we were at one point probably on the upper end of usage.
Even now, with a wife that refuses to use the cap, or wipe off the accumulated filth of paste at the dispensing end, we still don’t go through a tube in less than a few months.
You need to give up using toothpaste, & use something else.
Try spackle.
