October is National Dental Hygiene Month. So, we wanted to share some of our favorite green products that help you have an eco-friendly smile! One thing to keep in mind with all of these products is that using too much creates unnecessary waste. You only need a pea-sized amount of toothpaste (not a huge glob like they use in the commercials). 

Tom's of Maine Toothpaste and Mouthwash - These natural products are made with the environment in mind and come in an array of great flavors. We really love their peppermint flavored Clean & Gentle fluoride toothpaste, which is sodium lauryl sulfate free.

Eco-DenT Gentle & Vegan Floss - You get 100 yards of this floss per package, making it quite economical. Its plastic-free packaging is recyclable and biodegradable and this floss contains 100% vegetable wax (no beeswax!).

Bambooya Toothbrush - We haven't tested out this product yet but we think it sounds pretty neat. This toothbrush lasts two years and is biodegradable. When you're finished with it, you can put it in your compost pile! The handle is made out of bamboo fibers and the bristles are made of boar's hair.
