If your prescription toothpaste is that much of a major concern to you, then pack it in your checked luggage. You can transport 4 gallons of it there if you like, the TSO’s wont care. But don’t tell me that your 7 ounce tube of toothpaste is a medical necessity during your flight. Sophistry is the most polite response you are likely to get.
Actually - you have no clue and that's obvious. The recommendation is to brush after any meal or food intake - EVERY TIME. Few do it but that is what you're directed to do. Clearly you've never had a toothbrush with you at work, but that's a personal issue we'll let you figure out.

Don't ever tell me what I need versus what a doctor might have recommended, particularly when its backed by a prescription - or do you consider yourself qualified to write those in your spare time, as well?

You're a disgrace in general and as a group - this attitude reflects why TSOs deserve (and usually get) absolutely no respect
