What are 'toothpaste tablets,' and what makes them better than regular toothpaste?

These small, chewable, just-add-a-little-water tablets are a game changer in your oral hygiene routine.

Clean, no-plastic, eco friendly toothpaste tablet

Is eco-friendly toothpaste really that important? Well … in 2021, the British Dental Journal estimated that the amount of plastic waste from toothpaste used in the U.K. in just one year could almost wrap around the world twice! Extrapolate that to the rest of the world's toothpaste usage and our morning and evening routines suddenly look a lot more wasteful. The answer? Toothpaste tablets.

These small, chewable, just-add-a-little-water tablets are a game changer in your oral hygiene routine. Check out our favorite clean, no-plastic, eco-friendly toothpaste tablet brands below. Note: the pricing for each is for a one-month supply of toothpaste tablets, and most companies offer significant discounts for subscriptions.
