Dental Crush

• You won’t be sacrificing the mint taste of toothpaste, the same refreshing feeling is achieved after brushing with Dental Crush.
• Gentle on your enamel. There are no harsh abrasive chemicals that could damage your enamel. The microcrystalline cellulose (derived from plants) polishes the surface of your teeth.
• You no longer have to guess how much of your gel dentifrice to apply to your toothbrush. Use one toothpaste tablet in the morning and one in the evening.
• Our packaging is resealable to keep your toothpaste tablets fresh and minty.
• A solid alternative with reduced volume that’s great for travelling.

• Wet your toothbrush, pop one tablet in your mouth, chew until smooth and brush away! Spit out and you’re good to go!  
• You should not rinse after brushing -  this is so the fluoride in your toothpaste works for longer and protects your teeth more effectively.

• Our Dental Crush Toothpaste Tablets are completely Naked. You’ll only find high quality, useful ingredients that are vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free. Below is a list of the ingredients we include. We know that this doesn’t mean much without a science degree, so we’ve gone into more detail about all of our ingredients here.  
• Microcrystalline Cellulose, Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda), Silica, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Magnesium Stearate, Aroma, Menthol, Xanthan-Gum, Stevioside, Citric Acid, Sodium Fluoride, Eugenol. Made by Denttabs GmbH Gerichtstr 12-13, 13347, Berlin, DE

• Standard toothpaste contains an array of chemical ingredients that attribute to the physical properties of toothpaste, including foaming and stabilising agents. Many of these chemical ingredients are unnecessary and potentially harmful to humans. At Naked Company we are passionate about making all of our bathroom and oral care products as clean and natural as possible, without compromising on quality. We use scientific journals to decide which ingredients we do and do not work with. We say no to SLS, triclosan and DEA. You won’t find these ingredients in our toothpaste tablets or any of our products. See our list of ingredients we avoid.

• Every year, Europeans generate 25m tonnes of plastic waste, but less than 30% is collected for recycling. Not only that, more than 80% of marine litter is also plastic. Although dentists recommend adults to use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste, most users apply excess, generating more plastic tubes and more landfill waste. Dental Crush uses less packaging than conventional toothpaste. One packet of Dental Crush only uses 4g of packaging for a 2 months’ supply.
• Our Dental Crush packets cannot currently be recycled but there are lots of cool ways that you can up-cycle your pouch. Our favourite re-use is using it as a planter for seeds.  
• Why don’t we use glass?

• A huge downside of plastic toothbrushes is that they can’t be recycled. Most dentists recommend replacing your toothbrush every three or four months. If everyone around the world followed this recommendation, approximately 23 billion toothbrushes head for landfills each year. That’s 300 toothbrushes in a person’s lifetime. Yikes. 

• Instead of plastic, our toothbrush is made from sustainably and ethically grown, eco-friendly Bamboo that can be composted, straight back into the earth. 

• Our toothbrush is also Vegan & Cruelty-Free. Unfortunately, the only fully biodegradable bristles are those made from boar, badger or horsehair. These natural bristles aren’t vegan-friendly, are coarse (bad for gums) and are a breeding ground for bacteria. This is why we use synthetic fibres for the bristles which can be removed before composting the handles.

• Follow these steps to perfect your brushing routine:  

• Our Bamboo toothbrush starts its life as Moso Bamboo. Don’t worry we haven’t stolen a Panda’s dinner. Moso bamboo is ‘panda-friendly’, pandas do not eat it or inhabit the area of China where it’s grown. The Moso bamboo that goes into making our brushes is sustainably-grown without the use of pesticides. 

• We have paired this natural germ buster with synthetic nylon-6 bristles (BPA free).

• Rinse and care for your bristles just as you would with a conventional toothbrush. The heat-treated handle prevents the toothbrush from going mouldy - you can continue to keep your toothbrush by the sink in an .  We recommend keeping your toothbrush upright in an open-air toothbrush holder.

• We recommend replacing your toothbrush every 2 to 3 months.  You’ll know when the time has come as the bristles will be rocking a permanent bad hair day. But before it’s ready for the compost, our bamboo friend can be a plant marker in the garden or even a great cleaning tool for those difficult nooks and crannies.

• When the time has come to dispose of your bamboo toothbrush, remove the bristles with a pair of pliers and dispose of it in your household waste. The 100% biodegradable bamboo can be disposed of in your composting bin or used as firewood.

Remove the paste, remove the waste! 

We understand that not everyone wants a fluoride toothpaste. Developed by dentists, our fluoride free version of Dental Crush still leaves your teeth clean, fresh and shiny.

• Wet your toothbrush, pop one tablet in your mouth, chew until smooth and brush away! Spit out and you’re good to go!  
• You should not rinse after brushing -  this is so the fluoride in your toothpaste works for longer and protects your teeth more effectively.
