Why is it, toothpaste clings to the inside of my drains?

It's not like anyone brushes their teeth, without "wasting" water.
The drains begin to drain slow, then end up stinking.

I was talking to some neighbors, they say they have the same problem.

The drains are nasty, this is pvc pipe. I've cleaned them before, the
stench is overwhelming.

Maybe someone is ****ing in my drains, I dunno, but its ****ing me off.

I had a dental hygentist say toothpaste is purely optional. *It is the
brush, floss and mouthwash that is important.

Hygienist may have a point.

Additional info from moi:

Use good quality electric brush - Sonicare, though initially
expensive,
has far outlasted two other brands.

Be sure to brush GUMS as well!

Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) cleans teeth squeaky clean.
Some say too abrasive ?? I like it.

I rinse with hydrogen peroxide (my hygienist approves) rather than
the colored water with icky taste that constitutes most commercial
rinses.

Change your (manual) toothbrush every six months, as we are
exhorted to do? Yep -- sell a lot of toothbrushes! IMHO
unnecessary unless brush is really deteriorated.
