Denttabs says: 

Denttabs Mint toothpaste tabs for adults go beyond brushing: They polish your teeth until they’re smooth, thanks to the high content of cellulose. Developed by dentists. Natural, sustainable, foam-free. The Denttabs bamboo toothbrush for children and adults is exceptionally gentle on your teeth thanks to soft bristles and thus supports the gentle polishing effect of our Denttabs toothpaste tabs.

How to brush with Bamboo Toothbrush and Toothpaste Tablets.

Teeth brushing with Denttabs is a bit unusual at first, but otherwise very easy:

1. You put 1 tab into your mouth and chew it, for example on your molars. Then you get a creamy consistency, not foamy. We deliberately use only a very gentle and natural surfactant.

2. You moisten your toothbrush and brush your teeth as usual.

3. Spit out, rinse your mouth with water, done! How do your teeth feel now?

We recommend 1 tab in the morning and 1 tab in the evening. To slowly approach the foam-free brushing experience, you can also use 2 tabs in the morning and 2 tabs in the evening for brushing. Should you ever feel like having a fresh breath during the day, you can also chew a tab in between and rinse.

Our Verdict

Toothpaste tables are a fantastic alternative to traditional toothpaste, especially for the ultralight hiker.

You only need to carry what you intend to use. Say you’re away for a week; you only need fourteen tablets, assuming you brush twice daily, so you’re not bringing excess weight.

They are incredibly simple to use; pop one in your mouth and chew till your saliva breaks down the tablet and forms a paste, just like regular toothpaste, then brush as you would normally.

And the bamboo brush is better for the environment, lighter than your plastic toothbrush and costs less than a standard brush. And if you like to cut your toothbrush in half to shave off every gram you can, the half that usually ends up in a landfill is now completely compostable. It’s win-win!

Tablet Features

• White teeth: The toothpaste tab polishes your teeth to a high gloss. This gives them a unique shine, which you otherwise only have for a few days after a professional dental cleaning at the dentist.
• 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.
• Healthy teeth: The waterfree toothpaste tabs provide a proven unique fluoride effect in the mouth, which protects your teeth from decay in the long term.
• Vegan: All our products are 100% vegan.
• Natural cosmetics certified: The toothpaste tabs and the packaging carry the recognized COSMOS Natural standard for certified natural cosmetics.
• Industrial compostable packaging: We use industrially compostable packaging based on PLA, a corn-based plastic that is bio-based and biodegradable.

Toothbrush Features

• Gentle polish: Our ultra-fine bristles, in combination with the toothpaste tabs, ensure an exceptionally smooth tooth surface.
• Antibacterial: Bamboo is perfect for oral care due to its antibacterial and odor-resistant properties.

Ingredients

• Microfine cellulose fibers (Microcrystalline Cellulose): The cellulose fibers in the toothpaste tablets are obtained from woody plant parts. Of course, FSC certified and grown in the EU. It is a long-chain polysaccharide that can polish your teeth ultra-smooth up to the interdental spaces. That’s why new particles roll off the surfaces of your teeth. Coatings, also known as plaque, can practically not form in the first place.
• Citric acid: Stimulates the flow of saliva. The increased salivary flow with natural calcium and phosphate ions causes faster remineralization of the enamel and tooth. 
• Sodium hydrogen carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate): Also known as sodium bicarbonate, in the reaction with the citric acid adjusts the pH of the tab to a neutral value during tooth brushing.
• Silica: Serves as gentle cleaning body.
• Amisoft (Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate): A mild and natural surfactant composed of vegetable fatty acids and the amino acid glutamic acid isolated from plant proteins. When cleaning, it helps to combine proteins, fats and carbohydrates with water to flush them out when rinsing. 
• Natural mint flavor: Provides together with the stevia extract and menthol for the pleasant feeling of freshness in the mouth.
• Eugenol: Part of our natural mint flavor. Eugenol is also known as a characteristic flavoring from cloves.
• Xanthan Gum: A natural polysaccharide that is also used as a thickener and gelling agent. In the toothpaste tab, it provides the pleasant creaminess after chewing the tab.
• Stevia (Stevioside): Sweet tasting plant, which together with the aroma and menthol provides the good taste. Stevioside are not sugar, but proteins that have a characteristic sweet taste. Therefore, stevioside can not trigger tooth decay.
• Menthol: Provides freshness in the mouth
• Sodium fluoride (Sodium Fluoride): Serves the remineralization of tooth enamel and can especially help with sensitive teeth, but also with incipient caries. The fluoride content here is 1450 ppm.
• Magnesium Stearate: A herbal excipient necessary for tab production.
