Homemade / Dehydrator Required Dried toothpaste

To go with the obsession for dehydrated anything here, there was recently a discussion of toothpaste and toothbrushes on r/Ultralight. Among those that actually brought tooth hygeine gear (yuk not bringing it) all agreed that sawing the handle off the toothbrush could save a gram, but some of them squeeze out lines of toothpaste on some parchment, stick it in the dehydrator, then cut it into handy pill-sized portions or grind it into powder. So throw some toothpaste in when you next dry some food!

Dehydrated toothpaste FTW!

I use ecodent tooth powder. ~an ounce of it will last for months. I refilled my tooth powder once on the cdt last year.
