The following are a number of frequently asked questions surrounding toothpaste tablets. What do they taste like? What’s also to love is that the tablets come in a glass jar with a recyclable metal lid. This makes NOBS toothpaste tablets a great way to help you live a more plastic-free life.
SLS and its foaming action helps to spread toothpaste into hard to reach areas, for example helping to get fluoride between the teeth where a toothbrush cannot reach.Finally, if you are Looking for a natural toothpaste, you may want to avoid SLS. It is possible for SLS to be made synthetically or can be derived from a natural source. 3 good options for toothpaste without SLS Denttabs are free from preservatives, germ-inhibiting substances, binders and free from aluminum and nanoparticles.
Microcrystalline Cellulose – A.K.A refined wood pulp. A naturally occurring polymer, which means it is biodegradable, unlike most synthetic polymers. It is the most common polymer found in nature. Has no nutritional value, and humans can’t digest it, so cellulose is completely inert to humans. It is often used as a filler in food to bulk a product out and is popular as an ingredient in ‘diet’ foods for this reason. Wood pulpis a plentifulraw material, and is produced mainly from softwood trees like pine. It can be made mechanically or chemically. Mechanical pulping is more efficient, as fewer trees are needed to make the same amount of pulp as chemical pulping. Chemical pulping has issues with pollution due to the chemicals used to break down the cellulose fibre, (although some mills work on a closed-loop structure to contain and reuse the chemicals needed) mechanical pulping does not have these problems, it is more resource-intensive. Wood is a renewable resource but often comes from monoculture plantations which were originally old-growth forests. Mismanagement of forests is a concern. Microcrystalline cellulose can also be made from agricultural waste materials, which is clearly a more environmentally friendly option. Hopefully, in future, we will see it mainly sourced from these waste products rather than deforested wood. They are incredibly simple to use. Pop one in your mouth and chew until your saliva breaks down the tablet and forms a paste just like regular toothpaste, then brush as you would normally. This could be for a number of reasons, such as wanting to avoid ingredients that are harsh on the environment. For example, opting for an SLS free toothpaste. Smooth teeth: Due to the cellulose in the tab, your teeth are polished ultra-smooth even up to the interdental spaces. Therefore, new particles simply roll off the tooth surface. Coatings, also known as plaque, can practically not even arise. A gel containing lidocaine (a local anesthetic) may provide enough pain relief to help you clean effectively or eat without pain. Have a read of the NHS information “Lidocaine for mouth and throat”.Gels available from a pharmacy include Anbesol Adult Strength Gel and Iglü Rapid Relief Gel Mouth Ulcer Treatment. Orajel Dental Gel for toothache has a similar ingredient (benzocaine). There is no evidence to suggest one is better than the other.SLS causes irritation to the cells of the gums and soft tissues in the mouth. This can lead to mouth sores and stomatitis. Trials have shown SLS to cause uncomfortable mucosal sloughing (when the top layer of your gum falls away from the surface). Microcellulose fibers (microcrystalline cellulose) polishes your teeth and in between, helping to prevent plaque and buildup of particles on the tooth and around the tooth. Fluoride free, the tabs come in small plastic bottles, which can be easily reused or recycled, in fact, the bottle is made from recycled plastic. There are alternative non mint flavour toothpastes available, from unflavoured natural toothpastes to bubble gum flavoured toothpaste. Children between three and six years old should use a paste containing more than 1000ppm fluoride. How do I care for my toothpaste tablets?
