Product Information

In 1824, a dentist named Dr. Peabody added soap — literally washing your mouth out as you brushed. This was later replaced by laurel sulfate, which made it more like paste and less like powder. In 1873, Colgate began mass-producing a smooth, minty paste in tiny glass jars. In 1886, Johnson & Johnson came out with Zonweiss tooth cream, which came with a tiny spoon for scooping it out and onto the brush. Zonweiss later came in tubes and is often credited as the first toothpaste in a tube, but that honor allegedly belongs to one Dr. Sheffield.

The overall experience doesn’t quite live up to my Fifth Element fantasies, but I’m sure toothpaste in 1898 wasn’t much fun either. One ingredient to avoid is charcoal because of the harm it can cause to the teeth. “Charcoal can be used as an abrasive, but it should be avoided [because it is] too abrasive,” Dr. Morgano says.I tried three brands of tablet, and none advertised fluoride as an ingredient. In fact, in this space, many toothpaste tablets actively flaunt their fluoride-free status, and that’s a worry because research suggests fluoride-free oral care products, often marketed as “natural”, tend to increase cavities. One exception to this is German brand DentTabs, which does contain fluoride and is widely available online in Australia. Well, guess what, this means that after you dispose of your toothpaste tubes, they continue to exist. In fact, your toothpaste tubes will as much as 500 yearsto fully decompose. And, in this period, they will sit comfortably on landfills. In some cases, they find their way to marine bodies where they will do much harm to the environment.

I would absolutely recommend Burt's Bees Whitening Toothpaste to everyone I know! It's effective and tastes amazing compared to other natural brands on the market." — Brit Haines, Associate Editor, Verywell Health I do think this toothpaste will do a good job of helping to maintain whiter teeth after using a whitening treatment. I did notice my teeth were whiter immediately after brushing, so it would be good to use right before an event or before taking photos." — Ashleigh Morley, Director of Commerce, Health Group The goal is to make them ready for pelletizing. With this, the materials get converted into useful pellets that can constitute new products. I would definitely recommend Tom's of Maine Simply White Toothpaste. Its subtle flavor and gentle mouthfeel make it easy to use day and night. If you're looking for dramatically whiter teeth, this may not be your best option, but it will help with stains accumulated throughout the day." — Ally Trapp, Contract Editor, Verywell Health One of the most important characteristics to look for when shopping for whitening toothpaste is the types of ingredients that are included in the formula.This toothpaste from Burt's Bees, a company known for natural ingredients and no animal testing, received five out of five stars for effectiveness and comfort and has a pleasant minty taste which is why we selected it as our best overall whitening toothpaste. This toothpaste uses silica rather than chemical whitening agents, and our tester noted a significant whitening of teeth even after a single use. Our tester also noted that they didn't feel any sensitivity while using this product. Toothpaste tablets are a compressed powder that you nibble to form a paste.

This toothpaste comes in 3oz tubes which makes it small but travel-friendly. This cream toothpaste is our best choice from the trusted brand Crest and has a gentle feeling that doesn't cause sensitivity and a mild mint flavor that isn't overpowering. This toothpaste features hydrated silica to remove stains and has the key ingredient sodium fluoride to prevent cavities and strengthen enamel. It also has ingredients that help prevent new surface stains in as little as three days.

The toothpaste has a fresh mint flavor that doesn't overpower and is a significant improvement over other natural toothpastes that often have a baking soda-like taste. Our tester noted that this toothpaste had a slight aftertaste that may be unpleasant for some people, but it wasn't too bad. It also has no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or dyes, so you're just getting a fresh, clean flavor. Brushing your teeth removes plaque buildup and bacteria to help prevent cavities. This toothpaste from MOON helps you do just that while also whitening your teeth. Our tester noted that there was no sensitivity at all when using this toothpaste and it had a nice texture which is why it received a five out of five stars for comfort. However, it's whitening effect wasn't as effective as some others on this list. Toothpaste tubes are made from a bunch of different materials making them difficult to recycle.

So, with toothpaste tubes, it means when you dispose of them, can bacteria break them down fast enough. This way, they disappear and do not constitute a source of pollution. One thing that often crosses your mind is your toothpaste caps. They appear different from your toothpaste tubes. As such, you are wondering if they are different. And, of course, if you can recycle them. This toothpaste may not whiten as fast as some others on our list but protecting your teeth from sensitivity and pain is worth it. Our tester noted that this toothpaste didn't irritate their gums or make their mouth feel dry compared to other whitening toothpastes which is why it earned a five out of five stars for comfort. It also has a light mint taste that isn't too strong, and our tester noted the foam was finer than regular toothpaste, which helped coat teeth better and get into hard-to-reach places. Now, this is where the problem comes in. Due to these circumstances, your toothpaste tubes are more likely to end up in landfills. And due to their plastic components, they can take years, exceeding hundreds to decompose.
