Organic toothpaste tablets are here. Ditch the tubes.
Organic toothpaste tablets are here.
Ditch the tubes.
Obligatory opening anecdote about the real topic:
In the Dr. Bob’s House, we have had some pretty funny whanau moments re: toothpaste. The adults at our place stay out of these debates, but we do love the creativity bathrooms inspire. (remind me of this when they are teens?) We really loathed the toothpaste classics, such as “Who smeared a smiley face on the mirror in goo?” because cleaning is a drag. Also now there is the very popular song sung to a Frozen “Let it Go” beat called “That’s Just Gross” all about mystery blue goo. (you’re singing it now, aren’t you?) It will no doubt be a 90-second viral wonder on Youtube if they ever stop fighting and film it. We’ll probably just send our idea to the Holderness Family. (Go- look it up. You’re welcome.)
Real topic:
But honestly, these toothpaste tubes are creating a mess not only in your bathroom, but also in the landfills. They’re a metal-plastic combo that can’t be recycled. And the product in there is sometimes suspect. So we found some amazing tablets and now the singing has moved to less gross topics. They’re mouth-neglecting, sensory-challenged, kid-approved and bring superior hygiene to your bathroom. Without the package.
Flouride or non-flouride? We offer both options. Listen we don’t care, just brush your teeth ok? Ok.
The pitch: Our tablets are imported from Denttabs in Germany. They’re awesome. The ingredients are all organic certified in the EU, they polish the teeth and leave an amazing smooth surface. The mouth really likes smooth, polished surfaces and it can be better for the germ-smelly-sick mouth cycle if you polish and not abraise in there.
But HOW does it work? So easy.
Chew. It’s weird but you get used to it.
Insert a wet brush in your mouth.
Brush.
Spit.
Rinse.
Repeat.
That’s it.
We chop ours in half for the under 8s; not recommended for under 6’s because, well, choking.
They come in a tiny recycled paper box. Seal them in a jam jar- or a fancy jar, whatever. They’re super-minty from a natural menthol. We love it. But kids not so much. So leave them on a plate in the sunshine and fresh air [away from wet showering areas] for a day or two, and they’ll chill a bit as the menthol evaporates. When you get them just right for your crew, seal them up. They have no expiration date & water is the only enemy.
Now go- Get Clean.
