tablets for teeth cleaning 125 pc.

I travel for work a lot. About 1 of every 3 weeks, I will fly on an airplane, which limits the amount of toothpaste I can carry. Travel sized toothpastes are a pain. They are overpriced compared to their normal-sized counterparts, they add un-recyclable material to landfills, and they never have to good flavors in the travel sizes. I've been interested in toothpaste tabs for a while, but I am a very cavity-prone individual. I have too-acidic saliva, and I also love candy. Xylitol absolutely can help prevent cavities, but it just isn't enough for me, so I felt I needed something with fluoride, especially after discussing this with my dentist. While Europe and Asia seem to be blessed with multiple choices for toothpaste powders and tablets containing fluoride, it is strangely difficult to find this in the United States. These are present online, but companies won't ship to America or the shipping is upwards of $20, which is a bit more than I'm willing to spend to make my traveling chompers a little happier.These ship from Europe (mine came from Great Britain, but that's seller-dependent), so it takes some time. My package arrived having been sliced open, but I suspect that has to do entirely with package handling en route. This was frustrating, however, because several (maybe 15) tablets were crushed, and some had fallen out in my mailbox. I only mention this because the corn-starch based packaging for the product is REALLY tough! It was still torn, but significantly less than the mailer, and I found it challenging to tear except on the perforated line. It is also compostable, which is a nice perk for the environmentally-conscious. Also, with all the (apparently incredibly) rough handling, ONLY ~15 tablets were damaged out of 125.The packaging is in German, as pictured. If this is daunting to you, finding instructions online was simple. There are also pictures on the packaging that are pretty simple to understand. Basically, take one tab, chew it, start brushing. These don't foam like normal, store brands, but I honestly didn't miss the foam. I included a picture of the brushing process, so you can see the lack of foam. The flavor is a generic mint flavor. It's fine. They taste like toothpaste. Like most fluoride toothpastes, you shouldn't rinse with water after brushing, and I actually thought that was easier to do with these than pastes.It is hard to rank these on a 5-star scale, because almost nothing is available for comparison. Having said that, these currently fill a hole in the market, and they function as described.

These are good but ultimate too expensive for me to continue using except for travelThe good:1) packaging: they come in a 2*2inch paper bag inside an a5 size envelope. How much more minimal can that get? This is equivalent to 2 normal tubes of toothpaste.2) flouride: Americans who want to reduce waste don't seem to think flouride is important for teeth! Strange. I frequently get cavities despite good habits so flouride wasn't something I didn't want to compromise on. This is just about the only one available3) flavor: nice minty flavor that is pleasant but not too overpowering.Cons: the texture is obviously different from paste, but honestly doesn't bother me. I find it nicer to use with electric vs manual toothbrush.Expensive: I'm still using these because I started Invisalign as well so these are convenient for my everyday travel brushing needs (you need to brush right after eating). Because I brush so much I use regular Colgate mostly, and the tabs when I'm out of the house. The tabs are 10 times more expensive than using regular toothpaste. (12¢ per brush versus 1.2¢ per brush).A side note: I've found the cleaner concentrate bottles from Grove perfect for storage, because it usually only dispenses one tablet at a time. Just make sure to clean the bottles really really well before using for toothpaste!

These toothpaste tablets have a good mint flavor and form a decent amount of foam when brushing with an electric toothbrush. These tablets have fluoride which is unusual for tablet toothpaste (another reason why I bought them). My teeth feel clean after brushing and not sticky like with some toothpastes. I am happy with the reduction in the amount of waste generated too, since the tablets come in a non-plastic bag. The one things I've had to be careful with when using my electric toothbrush is that I tend to fling foam out of my mouth and then end up with flecks of toothpaste foam on my shirt, which doesn't happen as often with regular toothpaste (although I sometimes do it with regular toothpaste too). Overall, the slightly higher cost and need to be more careful when brushing are outweighed by my commitment to less plastic in my life, so I give these tabs 5 stars.

I love the fact that these arrived in a compostable bag and that equates to zero waste. My teeth feel clean, but I’m not sure my breath is fresh. This is a distraction. I will use these, but might have to intersperse some regular toothpaste here and there. They do not foam, but I could probably get used to that. I’m happy that they have fluoride and that I’m doing my part to reduce single use plastic use.
