Eco-DenT's Terradent Replaceable Head Toothbrush (Soft) has a lower bacteria count because of its unique replaceable head design. These toothbrushes have exceptionally consistent, superior quality bristles, which are also available in Medium firmness. In addition, the heads will not dislodge while brushing or cleaning your teeth.* The TerraDent Toothbrush system was designed to provide you with an effective and economical toothbrush that also provides environmental benefits. Tests reported in the June 1998 issue of Oeko-Test, a leading German consumer magazine, that TerraDent Toothbrushes scored higher than other brands in “head to head” quality competition.* The most commonly available toothbrushes require you to throw away the handle every time you need to replace your toothbrush. Hundreds of millions of these plastic handles pile up in land fills all across the country, taking up space and not breaking down. At the same time, enormous resources have to be used to create more and more plastic handles to replace those in the land fills! The cycle goes on without an end – until now. TerraDent Replaceable Head toothbrushes provide the best solution by allowing you to keep the handle and simply replace the heads, quickly and conveniently, when the time comes. TerraDent's unique thermo-weld process attaches bristles directly into the head of the brush, providing greater strength and dramatically reducing the chances of bacteria breeding in the base of the bristles. The dentist-designed handle provides proper grip for better dental hygiene, and the FlexZone neck helps keep you from putting too much pressure on teeth and sensitive gums.* The TerraDent Toothbrush also features an award-winning bristle system which provides more rounded tip bristles than other brands, is gentler on gums, and cleans more of the tooth's surface than a standard toothbrush.* Please note that you will not be able to select the brush handle color. We receive a random supply from the manufacturer and send what is available at the time.

 A daily oral care program is essential to maintaining the health of your teeth and gums and helping you avoid costly, painful conditions. The foundation of a good oral care program is to reduce plaque and prevent its long-term accumulation. According to an article in the FDA Consumer Magazine some years ago, “the most effective method of plaque control at home is brushing and flossing.”*Eco-DenT has been the long-time leader in providing natural products to help you maintain good oral hygiene habits which will contribute toward keeping your teeth clean and your breath fresh, and aid in the reduction of plaque. Eco-DenT provides a complete complement of oral care products. Many of these products are time-tested and backed by extensive clinical research supporting their benefits. In fact, Eco-DenT has more clinical studies supporting its products than any other natural oral care product line.* Eco-DenT is useful both for people who already have some oral care concerns, as well as for those who simply want to have a clean radiant smile and fresh breath. It is part of a comprehensive oral care program that should include regular checkups by your dentist. |

The following article was researched and written by Santosh Krinsky, President of Lotus Brands, Inc., (which is the manufacturer of the Eco-DenT Premium Oral Care product line). Krinsky has been a veteran of the natural products industry since 1974. Why would someone suggest something as radical as what the headline suggests? Because there are actually BETTER ways to clean your teeth. This story goes back to the early years of the last century. Until that time, toothpowders were the primary mode of providing teeth-cleaning power. Someone invented the convenient “toothpaste” form, began marketing it, and over the years toothpaste took over the market and people forgot about toothpowders. There were reasons at that time for the rise of toothpastes, mainly due to “ease of use” concerns and dissatisfaction with the toothpowders available at that time. Over the years, however, toothpastes have evolved to the point where they have a lot of drawbacks, not the least of which are the high sugar (or even worse, saccharin) content, the “chemical soup”, the preservatives, and in just about every modern-day toothpaste, the fluoride. For one, fluoride has become very controversial. The chemical industry had a problem, which was that fluoride was a “waste” by-product of various products they produced. They wanted to find a way to get rid of this “waste”, but in a profitable manner. Research was done and it was determined that fluoride could reduce tooth decay. The problem, of course, is that too much fluoride is toxic, and the multiple sources of fluoride (fluoridated water, fluoride treatments at the dentist’s office, as well as fluoridated toothpastes and mouthwashes) mean there is absolutely no control over the amount of fluoride ingested. One significant thing to note is that fluoride can discolor or “mottle” teeth if in excess, and there has been a dramatic increase in mottled teeth over the last few decades. The apparent connection is obvious. This discoloring of the teeth causes more people to try to correct the problem with teeth-whitening treatments, which can harmthe enamel of the teeth, causing long-term tooth sensitivity. Second, artificial sweeteners found inmany commercial toothpastes (to avoid “sugar”) are a cause for concern as well. Some of them have apparent links to hormonal activities creating emotional and psychological imbalance and stress. Others, such as saccharin, have been the subject of studies showing an apparent link to various forms of cancer. Third, sugars in toothpaste are simply feeding bacteria in the mouth that thrive on sugars and help create decay. Fourth, the need to develop a stable paste that will maintain its consistency over time and not be a bed for bacterial growth means that most toothpastes wind up having something of a chemical soup that adds to the chemical load that all of us are exposed to every day in modern society. The fact that various forms of disease, including cancer, have increased dramatically over the last century, as the exposure to chemicals all around us have increased dramatically, points to a serious linkage between our environmental health and our body’s health. Fifth, just about all commercial toothpastes use abrasives that can actually weaken the tooth enamel. Whether they call it Calcium Carbonate or Chalk, by using it as their primary cleaning ingredient, most toothpastes can be actually quite abrasive. One has to ask: “Are there any viable options available?” The answer is a resounding “yes.” Let’s go back to the history of the rise of toothpastes and the decline of toothpowders. There were reasons why the toothpowders of old lost favor. They generally did not taste very good. They were hard to use. They were inconvenient. But today there are toothpowders available that solve all these issues: they are great tasting, provide a refreshing clean feeling, are easy to use, have an effervescent action that makes brushing effective in hard to reach places, and have been shown to harden teeth as effectively as some of the most popular commercial fluoride toothpastes. The Eco-Dent DailyCare toothpowders are based on a 70+ year old European formula and have been the subject of a number of studies, published articles, and dentist endorsements. Eco-Dent DailyCare Toothpowders are all based on a formula of baking soda and sea salt. While most baking soda toothpowders of old were not quite a pleasant experience, Eco-Dent has a refreshing taste and leaves the breath fresh and the mouth feeling clean. Baking soda is a superior cleaning agent that is virtually non-abrasive compared to traditional toothpastes. Eco-Dent has been tested and found to be an effective low-abrasive cleaner compared to leading natural and commercial toothpaste brands for instance. It comes in a variety of flavors (provided by natural essential oils), including the very popular Mint, as well as Cinnamon, Anise, and the “mint-free” Lemon-Lime for those who are working with homeopathy. The ez-pour cap makes it simple to sprinkle just a pea-sized amount of toothpowder onto the moistened toothbrush. Eco-Dent foams up nicely and provides a great brushing experience. One 2 oz. bottle provides approximately 200 brushings (around 3 months’supply), making it much more economical than toothpaste. Dr. David C. Kennedy, DDS, President of the Preventive Dental Health Association and Past President of the International Academy of Oral Medicine had this to say about Eco-Dent DailyCare Toothpowders: “I have used and recommended Eco-Dent for many years in my dental practice and can highly recommend this product for those who want an effective non-toxic cleaner.” So, if you are ready for a new and better solution to oral hygiene, “throw away your toothpaste” and join the toothpowder revolution! It will give you something to truly smile about. |

Every time we eat, particles of food are lodged between and around the teeth and in pockets that form between the teeth and the gums. These food particles provide nourishment to bacteria that thrive in the mouth’s warm and moist environment. These bacteria then create plaque acids by digesting the food. A film begins to form on your teeth, becomes tartar, and eventually hardens into plaque. If allowed to continue, the plaque formation process eventually creates problems that can lead to things like gum disease. The acids eat away at tooth enamel, creating a ground for decay. Once the situation has advanced to a certain point, the only real solution is costly and time-consuming treatments at a dental office.* It is therefore of great benefit to all of us to understand this process and to practice the essential steps of oral hygiene on a regular basis to maintain a clean and healthy mouth environment. Dentists will tell you that the essential steps include regular brushing and flossing. While most people brush in the morning and in the evening, few of us have the time and focus to brush after each meal. It is certainly not always convenient to break away after eating for brushing, and there are few who actually brush 5 times a day! So what can we do between meals if we are not brushing this frequently? More and more, the benefit of chewing a sugar-free dental gum, specifically designed for oral hygiene, is being discussed. In 2007, the American Dental Association gave, for the first time, its seal of approval to several chewing gum products, specifically noting their benefits: “The ADA said its independent review of the studies confirms those three gums have been shown to help prevent cavities, reduce plaque acid, and strengthen teeth.” The principles utilized by these products from the Wrigley Company are found in other manufacturers’ products as well.* In the late 1990’s Arm & Hammer launched a Sugar Free Dental Care gum that they indicated “reduces plaque by 25%.” Arm & Hammer’s product included baking soda as a primary ingredient, which they indicated added cleaning and whitening benefits as well. Arm & Hammer also undertook studies which supported their claims.
Some companies take the approach of using xylitol as a sugar-substitute in their products due to some studies out of Europe that indicate strong plaque-reducing benefits from regular xylitol intake. Still other products include antioxidants to provide support to the gum tissues of the mouth and provide general antioxidant protection to the whole system. The benefits of Vitamins A, C and E for overall health are well-documented. Getting sufficient antioxidants on a daily basis is clearly an enormous benefit to the body to help it maintain its health, strength and resistance.* In each case, the use of a sugar-free chewing gum formula is supplemented with specific strategies to enhance the oral hygiene benefits of the product. The potential for including a sugar-free chewing gum with added targeted ingredients is clearly being recognized. It should be noted however that not all “sugar free” chewing gums are the same. Some manufacturers use various artificial sweeteners which have caused enormous concern about their effect on hormone systems and, in the case of saccharin, possible link to cancer. Clearly, the ideal “sugar free” method is to replace sucrose and high fructose corn syrup with other natural sweeteners, rather than include these artificial sweetening agents. Similarly, some mainstream chewing gum products include lots of other ingredients, such as artificial colors that add nothing to the benefits, but increase the chemical load that people have to bear in today’s world. Eco-Dent Between! Gum is a sugar-free gum sweetened by the use of xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol and glycerin, which uses baking soda, xylitol and antioxidants combined into a multi-faceted approach to between-meal oral hygiene. The product avoids the controversial artificial sweeteners such as aspartame or saccharin. No dyes or colors are added. |
