Toothpaste Tablets

Toothpaste tablets are toothpaste that do not come in plastic packaging. They are most often made in France. Their effectiveness comes from cleaning and smoothing your teeth in a much healthier way. Their tablet format lets you use the right amount of toothpaste and avoid the waste that too often occurs with traditional toothpaste. In fact, toothpaste often remains at the bottom of the tube, where it is usually unreachable and therefore wasted. In addition, their concentrated formula contains no water. They therefore keep better and are easier to transport. Natural and organic toothpaste tablets are an eco-friendly, economical and perfectly healthy solution.

Here is a guide that will tell you everything you need to know about toothpaste tablets.

Toothpaste tablets: What are they?

Toothpaste tablets are also called organic toothpaste refills in tablet form. They are a natural and zero-waste alternative to traditional toothpaste tubes because their packaging is not made of plastic. It is most often made of metal. They contain ingredients of natural origin. They exclude all products that are harmful to health, as well as preservatives. They are usually made with ingredients that ensure effective toothbrushing and good oral hygiene.

Very easy to use

Brushing your teeth with chewable toothpaste is very easy. Simply chew one tablet or half a tablet and brush your teeth with the toothbrush you normally use. The toothpaste will foam and spread throughout your mouth. Its action is enhanced by brushing. Then you can rinse as you would with conventional toothpaste.

The benefits of the ingredients in toothpaste tablets

Toothpaste tablets most often contain the following ingredients:

• Xylitol: It neutralizes bacteria to prevent the development of cavities
• Calcium carbonate : It fights dental plaque and remineralizes teeth.
• Xanthan gum : This is a natural gelling agent that gives the product texture in your mouth.
• Natural mint flavor : It helps you maintain fresh breath and balance in your mouth.
• Glyceryl behenate : This is a natural binder that gives the tablet consistency.
• Citric acid : It comes from citrus fruits and helps clean your teeth effectively.

How do you use toothpaste tablets?

Toothpaste tablets are used in much the same way as toothpaste in a tube. The process is very easy and fun. Simply place the tablet near your molars. Then chew the candy several times to break it up thoroughly, and brush your teeth as usual. When it comes into contact with saliva, the product foams slightly. In addition, toothpaste tablets are sensitive to everyday moisture. It is important to keep them in an airtight metal or glass container when you are not using them.

Homemade toothpaste tablet recipe

This toothpaste tablet recipe foams just as much as commercially sold toothpaste tablets. It is a good way to avoid waste and product overdosing from time to time.

Here are the different ingredients to use in the recipe:

• 2 tablespoons of calcium carbonate or Meudon white

• 1 tablespoon of superfine white clay

• 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel

• 1 teaspoon of baking soda

• 15 drops of stevia (also available in powder form)

• A few drops of sweet mint or lemon essential oil

Here are the different steps for preparing this toothpaste tablet:

• You must disinfect your jar with boiling water and let it dry

• Then preheat your oven to a low temperature

• Meanwhile, pour the calcium carbonate, clay, baking soda, stevia and essential oil of your choice into a bowl, and mix well with a wooden spoon.

• Then add the aloe vera gel one spoonful at a time, and mix until you obtain a light paste. In principle, you will need only 2 tablespoons of gel, but you can adjust the quantities as you wish.

• Line your baking tray with reusable paper and use a piping bag to place approximately 90 drops of toothpaste mixture on it. You can adjust the shape if necessary with the back of your spoon.

• You can then place them in the oven and heat them until the toothpaste tablets are completely dry, for about one hour. The tablets should not stick.

• Remove the tablets from the oven and let them cool, then transfer them to a glass jar.

However, most of the time you can use chewable toothpaste such as the one from Y-Brush. This vegan chewable toothpaste refill contains 60 mint-flavored tablets. It helps reduce acid attacks, fight bacteria, combat dental plaque and restore fresh breath. You can also choose the 120-tablet chewable refill.

We hope this guide has helped you understand that toothpaste tablets are much more environmentally friendly than ordinary toothpaste. They are above all eco-friendly toothpaste, easy to use, and contain ingredients that are not harmful to your oral health. They are very simple to use, whether you make your own toothpaste or buy it.
