How Do Toothpaste Tablets Work?

Toothpaste tablets work when mixed with saliva to create an all-natural toothpaste. From this point, they’ll foam up, get to work, and leave you with a clean, healthy mouth. 

To use a toothpaste tablet, simply place one in your mouth, chew it until it turns into a paste, pop your (wet) toothbrush in, and brush as normal for 2 minutes…it really is that easy! Once you’ve finished brushing, spit the toothpaste into the sink and let the remaining paste sit on your teeth. Remember to spit, not rinse

You should never rinse after brushing as this will remove the fluoride from your teeth. Fluoride adds protection against decay, sensitivity, and bacterial growth.


Toothpaste Tablets Vs Toothpaste Tubes 

Toothpaste tablets have similar ingredients to traditional toothpaste but avoid preservatives, such as parabens or sodium benzoate. Like traditional toothpaste, toothpaste tablets are available as fluoride or non-fluoride variations, both stocked here at Brush Fresh

Toothpaste tablets are known for being an eco-friendly alternative to toothpaste as they are completely plastic-free and zero waste, unlike traditional toothpaste tubes which typically end up in landfill. 

Toothpaste tablets also offer benefits in terms of portability and resistance to temperature changes. This means you don’t have to carry around bulky toothpaste tubes when travelling, nor do you have to worry about the paste going dry when they forget to close the cap.
