"But you know stubborness will get you really far" Gittemary Johansen 5/2021 XD XD hilarious! Relatable for so many things.. Great video!

For users of baking soda or charcoal, those are super abrasive & can strip your enamel if used with brushing. If you want to use them for whitening purposes use them more like a rinse, with no added friction.

I use a teaspoon as a tongue scraper, works just fine and basically everyone has one in their kitchen!

I just started using dent tabs and I love them! They are widely available in paper packets in Berlin. :)

No this is absolute perfect timing! I was finally running out of my normal toothpaste (it’s been months!) and looking for the best options out there but there are so many. Thank you

I use old toothbrushes for cleaning. It's good for corners and edges and detail cleaning hard-to-reach places.

Your videos make me sooooo happy idk why lol ❤️ keep doing what you do!

Thanks for the great tips!! We are making baby steps throughout our home. We are working our way through our conventional toiletries, replacing them with homemade lotions and other more sustainable products. We have our bamboo toothbrushes and now I will definitely see what mouth care products I can purchase here in Canada. Thank you so much for another great video 🥰

I love the georganics mouthwash (I get the spearmint flavour) and you can get refills packs for them that come in cardboard so you can reuse the original glass jar. They also have plastic free gum that come in similar refill packaging as well. 😊

When u were talking about the bamboo toothbrushes, I kind of imagined Olivander talking about wands HAHAHA

So helpful, thank you!

Thank you so much for this video and the wonderful extensive webpage to go along with it. This is something I have been trying to tackle.

I like to use my old toothbrushes for cleaning hard to reach places. Thank you for the informational video ❤️

For the tongue tool I use an unsharpened knife (you know like a butter one or similar), we already had them at home and we didn't use them that much so I just grabbed one

Love my Swak😃 best results so far😍

I already had all that except the dental tabs, which were previously recommended by you. Now that I've tried them I'll never go back! Thanks! 🌱

Ooo love this! Also hope you do more Sims or other games! 😁

I use old toothbrushes for "combing" my brows and also for cleaning in spots where the broom doesn't fit

great video, thank you🤩

I find bamboo toothbrushes too dry and grippy, sucking moisture from my mouth, it makes me gag. So I've had to settle for recycled plastic toothbrushes. I've also heard chewing on certain foods help with dental hygiene, I would rely on it but apple are good and so are peppermint leaves. So I keep a pot plant of mint and bring an apple to work just to freshen up instead of using gum.

Was that a HIMYM reference? Yes? Please? 😍 Loving my bamboo toothbrush from Packagefree and I will definitely be using the handles to make herb markers! What a neat idea. ❤

I too reuse my bamboo toothbrush by putting the bristle end into soil and print the name of the seeds planted on the handle. 🌸 it’s better than the plastic markers. You can sand the handle and change the name printed to reuse again.

Thank you for this! I've been trying out a toothsoap from georganics and it has been lasting me aaaaaages!

I had used toothy tabs until they stopped the cardboard packaging. I had a serious reaction from a minty type toothpaste so I make my toothpaste powder(without coconut oil😖). I have made yarrow tincture to use also. Both work quite well 😁

Not sure if this is specific to me, but my dentist said that the waterpik type situations are in addition to flossing rather than a replacment as you still need the friction of something solid between teeth

I asked my dentist about water flossing and he said I could use it supplementary and that it's better that nothing, but that regular floss works better

I recommend the toothpaste by ben&anna :D it is an actual paste that works just like "normal" toothpaste but it comes in a glass container and is sustainable. I just love it. For everyone who cannot get used to the tabs - like me ... :D

I have been using bamboo toothbrushes for a good few years now and really like them, also the tooth tabs from Lush first moved into my home a few years ago. They have some nice flavours but come in a recycled plastic bottle, I only needed 1/2 tab to brush my teeth and they would last ages. Then I've discovered just usual white tabs in my zero waste shop in Edinburgh and they come in little paper bags which I prefer. I tried the charcoal tooth powder from Georganics but I don't like it and my sink turns into a black muddy pool when I rinse my mouth. Tongue scrapers are difficult to use when you have a tongue piercing :D Haha. How do you make mouthwash at home ? I would do oil pulling every now and then for 10 minutes or so. I would like to know if Jens follows the same routines as you do, now that you've been living together for a while. My bf does not care too much about the environment, unfortunately and also prefers usual tooth paste. We don't live together and whenever I would show him neat things which are more sustainable he would say "let go Annika, don't take everything so serious" ... which is hard to take sometimes.

I use a copper tongue scraper, bamboo tooth brushes, and a water pick flosser thing. I also have tooth tablets i think theyre dentabs, but I don't love them so I tend to use them when im travelling (theyre so convenient for that). I'm still on the search for a good toothepaste alternative that I like, for now its just picking brands that are doing good things. I'll have to try one of those paste ones that come in a jar as so. Those mouthwash tabs look cool, I don't use mouthwash but I think I will get that as a gift for my sister! She still uses those giant bottles of listerine : p

I really like the Fair Squared tooth paste

I feel like people often overlook the most zero-waste-and-you-already-have-it-at-home tongue cleaner : a spoon. It works just as well, most people already have lots of spares, and you really don't need to buy an extra thing made of metal. At least, that's what I use!

Next step for me would be the toothpaste tabs!

Hey there, so I first have a question about toothtaps... I have been using them for a while now and I have found that they tend to dry out my gums? So far I have only tried one brand because it was localy available to me, so could it just be the brand? So now I basically use my toothtabs a few times a week and apart from that toothpaste. Which is why I bought the geororganics one a while ago, because it comes in class and it honestly is alright. I neither love nor hate it, I feel like it gets the job done although it REALLY tastes like peppermint and when it gets a bit warmer it of course melts a bit. I would say it is a good alternative when you have it available to you but once it is finished I will go and try out some other ones first. (And I am not a dentist or anything even close to that so I have no idea if it is healthy for you or not, it worked for me so far and since they are allowed to sell it I just trust that they sufficiently tested it beforehand ;)). Anyways, have a lovely day :)

You can you use a metal spoon for the tongue

Have you found any good options for a low waste toothbrush travel case? I had a bamboo one, but it started to smell after a while; I think with the humidity it might have even started molding! 🤮

I always just gently brush my tongue clean after I have done my teeth. I've never felt the need for a tongue scraper.

There is also solid toothpaste; I had some by Lamazuna. I find handling the toothtabs easier though. Solid mouth wash is new to me! I don't use mouth wash daily, so the tabs should be better as they don't go bad compared to liquid mouth wash 🤔

Why do you have dots tattooed on you fingers and palms?

Lol my last bamboo toothbrush, we just couldn’t get the bristles out. I ended up sawing the whole brush off out of rage 😂

Is a water flosser eco friendly/climate pledge friendly?

My teeth are super sensitive, especially when I use baking soda it's a nightmare. Has anyone found great zero waste toothpaste for sensitive teeth without baking soda?

❤

Any recommendations for toothbrushes that aren't bamboo? Due to eczema I can't use those unfortunately :(

Any tips from anyone on alternatives to bamboo/wooden toothbrushes? I'd like to swap out my current plastic ones, my issue is I HATE the feeling of wood/bamboo especially in my mouth! Lesbian jokes aside, would be keen to know if there are any other eco friendly alternatives to these, because I just know I won't use them otherwise 😅

I was waiting why you don't like the diy toothpaste made from coconut oil and baking soda but nevertheless the video is great as always ❣ Ps. Tho I kinda remember that you mention in one of your vids that you don't like them because of the taste or was it the texture?

Hvilke “bulk stores” køber du fra i Aalborg? Og hvor finder du “farmers market” i Aalborg?

Hooray I'm early

I have tried several bamboo toothbrushes and have sort of gotten used to them....but I really don't like them much. After some use, the bamboo is pretty rough and I fear splinters in my fingers or my mouth! I may go back to plastic, but I would like to find one where you can replace just the brush part and keep the handle to use over and over. I really want the bamboo to work, but.....it just isn't for me. :(

I just got a bamboo Toothbrush and tooth tabs

I had a swimsuit that had the elastic finally die, so I pulled out and sterilized the underwire pieces and use those as tongue scrapers. Just another idea!

I LOVE my georganics mouthwash tablets. I have the orange flavor. I just ordered my refill, comes with 2 years' worth of tablets, and is only $25? Also, my waterpik (aka my water flosser) is my favorite thing. Since I've been using it, my dentist says my teeth have never been cleaner.

I may admit that dental care it’s not my most ZW routine...

My dentist told me I can't use Zero Waste toothpaste because it doesn't contain fluor and it is dangerous for my dental health :( I am so sad about it, I had been using homemaid toothpaste for a while:'( Is anyone in the same situation?

It’s hard to find an affordable sustainable bamboo toothbrush that’s not packaged in plastic :’)

How to find sustainable buyer for this,??I want to inter this business to help May fellow indigenous people to earn money interm of livelihood program...

Isn't it dangerous to make your own mouthwash bc of the essential oils? Idk...😕

,,,why do you have so many toothbrushes

My uncle used to carve out mini animals out of toothbrush handles, with wood it'd be easier I think:)

They not biodegradable……
