Review: EcoDent Oral Care TerraDent Replaceable Head Toothbrush

My guy goes through a lot of toothbrushes. I don't know how he does it, but it seems like it only takes him a couple of weeks before the bristles on his toothbrush get bent out of shape. I, on the other hand, have to set reminders so I remember to change my toothbrush out at all; you can hardly tell when I've used it one day versus six months. Whether your toothbrushes end up like my guy's or my own, it can be frustrating to throw all those plastic brushes in the garbage. Eco-Dent offers a handy alternative: the TerraDent toothbrush, with a replaceable head.

Pros:

• Adult and childrens' versions available
• Foolproof head swapping
• Greatly reduces plastic use from toothbrushes
• Soft and medium bristles available
• Ergonomic handle
• Recyclable packaging

Review: Eco-Dent Res-Q-Dent Natural Gel Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth

Natural toothpastes often get poor reviews from dentists, as there is the perception that they can leave teeth sensitive. When my dentist told me I had sensitive teeth due to receding gums, I was determined to find a natural toothpaste that worked. I didn't find a lot of options, but fortunately, I found one that effectively densensitized: Eco-Dent Res-Q-Dent Natural Gel Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth.

Pros:

• Uses same tooth desensitizer as traditional toothpastes (5% potassium nitrate)
• Very natural
• Mild minty taste
• Cleans well
• Nice and foamy
  

Review and Giveaway: Eco-Dent Oral Care VeganFloss and GentleFloss

What makes a floss vegan? What is a good vegan floss? I've seen these questions asked time and again across the web, so I set out to find some answers. It turns out that floss is usually vegan but the wax and/or enzymes used are not. Eco-Dent makes two varieties of floss that come in  innovative cardboard packages. Although both are vegan waxed, strict vegans will want to look for the VeganFloss, as it contains no dairy-derived enzymes.

Pros:

• Very light, mild mint flavor (GentleFloss) or mint-free cinnamon (VeganFloss)
• Thin floss is easy to get in between teeth
• Can double floss to add thickness
• 100 yards in each package (most flosses have 50 or fewer yards)
• Clever eco-friendly packaging
• Affordable (around $5.50 for 100 yards)
