A Swipe Or Two For A Fresh-breathed You

December 11, 1994|By Pamela Patrick Novotny.

You're out for lunch with friends (or worse, with your boss) and your innocent-looking salad turns out to be garlic-infused. You have no toothbrush in your purse. What do you do?

Head to the ladies room and whip out a Tooth Towel.

They're not a permanent substitute for brushing and flossing, mind you, but these packets can get you through those postmeal emergencies. They're similar to hand/face towelettes. But these are moistened with a minty mouthwash. So your teeth get cleaned and your breath gets freshened with a few swipes.

They cost $18.95 for 100 individually wrapped towelettes and are available from the Self Care Catalog (800-345-3371).
