German Dental Care
German dental care here means Ajona Stomaticum, a concentrated toothpaste sold in small 25ml tubes. A pea-sized amount is enough for a full clean, so one tube lasts far longer than its size suggests. British shoppers usually search for it by name after meeting it in a German bathroom or on holiday.

German Tissues
Tempo is the word most Germans use for a paper tissue, the way Britons say Hanky. The classic packs are sturdier than standard travel tissues and hold their shape in a bag or coat pocket. Sold here in the large household box that German supermarkets stock.

What is Ajona toothpaste?
Ajona Stomaticum is a concentrated toothpaste made in Germany. A pea-sized amount is enough for a full clean, so a 25ml tube lasts about as long as a standard tube several times its size. It has been sold in the same small red packaging for decades and is a fixture in German bathrooms.
Why do Germans say Tempo instead of tissue?
Tempo was the first branded paper handkerchief in Germany and the name stuck to the whole category, the way Britons say Hanky or Hoover. Asking for ein Tempo in Germany gets you a paper tissue of any brand.
