“Anything that relates to water quality, removing contaminants, things like that, we’re not touching that,” Tuck [the bill sponsor] said. “It’s anything that has to do with health. So fluoride, vitamins, whatever else it is.”

I would argue that the issue with brushing technique is not relevant to the effectiveness study. Normal people are going to vary in technique. Controlling too strictly for technique does not realistically tell us which is more or less effective in practice. Likewise, we can’t assume the toothpaste users where on average less effective or more effective than the toothpaste nonusers. Like I said, studies keep reinforcing this conclusion. At this point it’s more than reasonable to assume the conclusion that toothpaste doesn’t help with actual brushing is a pretty secure position.
