Ever wish you could have “greener” teeth? No not the color green, but rather teeth cleaning in a more environmentally friendly practice? If you answer is yes, and you need some how to tips take a look at the suggestions below.

Buy an eco friendly toothbrush:
a. The online retail website Toothbrush Express offers a toothbrush recycling program. Sign up to receive new toothbrushes at predefined intervals ranging from monthly to semi-annually. And for a few dollars extra the company will include pre-paid postage with each shipment for you to send back your old ones.
b. The handle of a Recycline Preserve toothbrush, designed by dentists, is made out of recycled plastic from Stonyfield Yogurt cups. When you've finished using it you can either put it out on the curb with other recyclables (if your community offers #5 plastics recycling), or send it back to Recycline in a pre-paid envelope supplied to you with your purchase. It will likely then be reborn again as raw material for a picnic table, deck, boardwalk or other long lasting durable product.
c. Search eco-friendly toothbrush on the Internet.

Buy or Make Green Toothpaste:
Do you know what is in your toothpaste? Look at the back of your toothpaste bottle. Do you understand what half of these chemicals are or do to your mouth? I don’t.

How about making your own toothpaste? You will know exactly what is in your toothpaste because you made it. You will be amazed at how simple it is and how much money you will save doing this. Most recipes call for baking powder, some sort of mint, and a liquid like water or hydrogen peroxide to mix it with. Recipes vary. “Baking powder is effective at whitening and polishing teeth over time and is less abrasive than silica and chalk whiteners, which can brush away tooth enamel and weaken teeth, leaving them more susceptible to decay.”

Buy Eco-friendly Floss:

Buy or Make Organic Vegan Mouth Wash
Even your mouthwashes can me homemade. For a great recipe search the Internet for homemade recipes. Here, at there are a few good ones to begin with. If you choose instead to buy a mouthwash opt for a certified organic mouthwash in recyclable packaging.

From toothbrush to mouthwash your dental hygiene can leave your mouth clean and “green” with just a few simple changes. It doesn’t take much and best of all it doesn’t cost as much either. How green are your teeth?
