I have found these just before christmas and think there a really good idea. It got me thinking about how much plastic i have wasted just by cleaning my teeth. you get three refils per pack and your children can even use them too.
My boys like them and have never complaned that there isn’t a pretty picture on them.
A cheeper way to clean and less to throw away We are told that we should replace our toothbrush at least every 3 months, which means throwing the old one away. Toothbrushes are usually made from plastic (and therefore oil), so they contribute to plastic waste and put in land fill.

We use toothpaste by green people they have different flavours for adults and children. I like these because they are not to strong and are organic.
- Conventional toothpastes produce foam because they contain detergents such as Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). These ingredients often cause skin irritation and may be a contributory factor in some cases of gum disease. Green People do not consider that the use of foaming agents in toothpastes is either necessary or desirable and consequently do not add them to any of their dental care products.
