I‘ve noticed that whenever I brush my teeth, I seem to smell whatever smells are lingering in the house (usually from cooking dinner) much more strongly than without toothpaste in my mouth. I use minty toothpaste, is there something about mint that makes other smells stronger? I have never noticed this with minty foods or drinks, though, only while brushing my teeth (I use an electric brush, if that makes a difference).

What do you think?
