They have the COSMOS Natural seal of the BDIH - which is an internationally recognised standard for controlled natural cosmetics. This means Denttabs include no artificially produced fragrances or dyes, contain mostly plant-based or natural ingredients and are produced in a responsible, environmentally friendly way. Get it?ĭenttabs were developed by Dentists and are vegan and cruelty-free. If you want two months’ worth, which would be 1 month’s supply for two people, then just click ‘1 month’s supply’ and put the quantity as 2. (For a whole two minutes mind, otherwise the tooth fairy will be after you.)ġ month’s supply (in small glass jar) = 60 Denttabs tabletsĦ months supply (in cardboard box) = 360 Denttabs tablets To use, just chew one tablet and add a dab of water to feel it magically turn into toothpaste. Or your normal teeth, whatever cleans your gums chums. Chew these pills and keep your golden grills clean. You can keep your teeth and save the planet after all. Please consult your physician/medical professionals/dermatologists/dentists when it comes to anything health-related.At last! Plastic-free toothpaste that actually tastes like toothpaste and contains fluoride… Jackpot! Unfortunately, we do not have many zw options at the moment when it comes to healthcare-related items, but this is one area where we shouldn’t compromise. Ī brand called “Hello” has toothpaste that comes in tubes that are more easily recyclable than the conventional toothpaste tube. ![]() ![]() There are also options for recycling, such as using the TerraCycle mail service for recycling toothpaste tubes. This does not mean you are failing the planet! There are other aspects in your life you can change to help the planet. Using baking soda might feel fine as a teen or even in your 20s, but later on in life your dentist bills and dental waste from operations for lack of proper care will cost the planet a lot more than tubes of toothpaste. Baking soda is terrible for enamels and your quality of life (an ability to eat) will be affected in your later years. Your teeth are just as important as any other part of your body. If your dentist strongly recommends fluoride toothpaste or if your teeth are eroded for example, then you need certain toothpaste like a sick person needs medication. Toothpastes in the market have undergone rigorous testing for safety and effectiveness, and are manufactured specifically to keep your gums, teeth and enamel healthier for longer. When it comes to healthcare (and this includes oral healthcare) please do not DIY unless you have spoken to a healthcare professional/dentist. YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR HEALTH AS A FIRST PRIORITY. I am all for being zero waste, however, I do not think that our world is at the point where we can go completely zero waste SAFELY in all aspects. I personally do not like advertisements on social media websites, many times it seems they are just greenwashing anyone who scrolls by. Not sure how much interaction goes on in this sub, I’ll try to respond to every comment, but just in case there’s too many to respond to when I wake up, TYIA to anyone who responds!Īs soon as you said "Facebook ad," I formed an opinion. Would it be easier and ultimately more cost effective to try to find a recipe and recreate my own version? ![]() Are they worth the cost? ($12 a month if you don’t do the subscription, $7.50 a month if you do) FBI guy who listens to me through my phone came through though cause I mentioned wanting to try going zero waste while living here to the hubby and a couple hours later there were ads on my Facebook about some toothpaste bits from a company called Bite. I’m pretty new to trying out zero waste, as I’ve been living in the UK the past couple years and they are pretty good about having the option to recycle over there, so I was pretty lazy about committing to going zero-waste.I’ve recently moved back to the states, specifically to Alaska, and recycling doesn’t really seem to be a thing here as far as I can tell. ![]() Think we could change or improve something?
