You can always tell them it is to help you make crack at your destination.

Perhaps when they say it is the discretion of the screener they mean it is the discretion of the screener. If that is the case, any one/number of experiences won't protect you from the discretion of the screener.

I use this with my electric toothbrush all the time, at home and traveling. I like the anise. I also carry Vitamin C powder in a baggie. I haven't read anything about powders and dry items being checked.

My dentist gives out the one-time toothbrushes. Dermatologists and estheticians have samples of soaps and creams though I'm not sure they would pass muster.

I have a dentist appointment next week. Instead of going to my doctor, think I'll get my dentist to prescribe toothpaste for me

BTW, went through security at SFO, today, 7am. The longest line was the UA 1k check-in (about 20 min. with 4 agents working the line). Elite security line was less than 5 minutes.
No problem. I did not pull the ziploc with my non-liquid toiletries out, and my bag did get pulled. He looked at the toothpowder and sent me on my way.

Homemade tooth powder

3 parts baking soda
1 part table salt

You can get little plastic screw-top containers at any luggage/travel store, camping/outdoor store (REI), Container Store, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc.

A little easier to manage than a baggie, IMO, and easier to slap a small label on.
