How to Transition to Eco-Friendly Oral Care in 5 Simple Steps

Oral care is such a normal part of our daily lives that we don't tend to give it a lot of thought. It is just part of the routine. But what if you decided that you weren't satisfied with the status quo? What if you wanted to transition to an eco-friendly oral care routine? Could you do it easily? Absolutely.

Adopting eco-friendly oral care was a lot more difficult a decade ago. That's no longer the case. Thanks to eco-friendly brands and the wonder that is the internet, anyone can make the switch. To demonstrate just how easy it is, here are five simple steps for making the transition:

Step #1: Assess Your Needs

The first step is to assess your needs. What are the oral care products you normally use? Most of us make daily use of toothpaste, toothbrushes, and mouthwash. You might also use floss as part of your routine. Here is the good news: there are eco-friendly alternatives for all of them. Here at EcoFam, we can offer:

• Toothpaste tablets
• Mouthwash tablets
• Compostable toothbrushes

Take a look at our products and see what you think. They could be just what you're looking for. With that said, let us move onto the next step.

Step #2: Research Brands

The next step is to start researching brands. Pay careful attention to the claims brands make. Just because a brand claims to be eco-friendly doesn't make it so. The telltale sign of a truly eco-friendly brand is packaging. You are looking for reusable and recyclable materials – not plastic.

Step #3: Create a Brand Short List

You might be the kind of consumer who can do a little research and then settle on a brand. Then again, you might prefer to actually try a couple of brands before making a final decision. If that is the case, follow research by creating a brand short list.

Purchasing products from each brand on your short list gives you the opportunity to try things out. You should be able to settle on a brand pretty quickly. Incidentally, we think EcoFam should be on your shortlist. We are confident you will find that our products meet your high standards.

Step #4: Come Up With a Purchase Plan

Next, you may have to come up with a purchase plan. Why? Because you probably still have toothpaste, toothbrushes, and mouthwash you are working through. All three types of products won't need to be replaced at the same time.

Coming up with a purchase plan is really about finding a way to remind yourself to buy eco-friendly products when the time comes. Without a plan, your desire to transition to an eco-friendly oral care routine could get lost in the busyness of life. But if you create a plan – like adding a reminder to your planner – you will find it easier to follow through.

Step #5: Place Your First Order

The final step is to place your first order. Once you have done that, your transition to eco-friendly oral care will be complete. Just use the products when they arrive and enjoy the benefits of good oral hygiene combined with eco-friendly practices. We are guessing you will have a brighter smile, and perhaps even a willingness to adopt equal friendly practices in other areas of your daily routine.

Eco-friendly oral care is about reducing waste, contributing to sustainability, and minimizing the damage we do to the Earth. Here at EcoFam, we are contributing to a more sustainable world through eco-friendly toothpaste tablets, mouthwash tablets, and compostable toothbrushes. Consider adding them to your daily oral hygiene routine.
