Mouthwash is a pretty common product in the typical American household. Consumers have lots of options covering everything from brand name products to generic mouthwash. Here at EcoFam, we offer what we believe is a better choice: mouthwash tablets.
The most visible difference between mouthwash tablets and traditional mouthwash is the form they take. Being tablets rather than liquid makes a difference. But is the difference enough to make mouthwash tablets better than traditional mouthwash?
You and the Environment
Determining the better choice among multiple options starts with establishing your criteria. Being that EcoFam is all about sustainable dental care, we believe the most important criteria for measuring mouthwash tablets against traditional mouthwash are you and the environment.
What do both products do for you? How do they contribute to your oral health? In addition, what impact do mouthwash tablets and traditional mouthwash have on the environment? If you can answer these questions, it should be clear which product is best for you.
Fresh Breath and a Clean Mouth
Let's start with you. The whole point of using mouthwash is to clean your mouth and freshen your breath. Mouthwash should kill the germs and bacteria that encourage gum disease and lead to bad breath. It should leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
Both mouthwash tablets and traditional mouthwash do the job. The big question is how they do it. It's all in the ingredients. Moreover, this is where mouthwash tablets have the edge. EcoFam mouthwash tablets don't contain any harsh chemicals or preservatives. They don't contain SLS sulfates either.
We use ingredients like:
- Nano Hydroxyapatite – Whitens teeth and promotes remineralization.
- Xylitol – Neutralizes acids to reduce enamel erosion.
- CoQ10 – Promotes gum health by way of antioxidant properties.
- Green Tea – Discourages bacteria growth.
- Probiotics – Helps balance the mouth's microbiome.
We like to say that our ingredients matter. They matter because they do the job without chemicals you don't want in your mouth.
Eliminating the Plastic
We can make a strong case that mouthwash tablets are better for you than traditional mouthwash. But what about the environment? What do mouthwash tablets have to offer here? In a phrase: no plastic.
We consider it part of our company mission to help reduce the amount of plastic in the waste stream. The best way to do so is to not use plastic at all. Once again, mouthwash tablets have the edge.
EcoFam mouthwash tablets are packaged and shipped in eco-friendly packaging. Our packaging can be recycled and reused. Can traditional mouthwash manufacturers say the same thing?
Traditional mouthwash tends to be packaged in plastic bottles with plastic caps. When a bottle is empty, it winds up in either the trash can or the recycling bin. But even plastic in the recycling bin might not actually get recycled. It could still end up in a landfill.
Reducing the Carbon Footprint
Eco-friendly packaging makes mouthwash tablets better for the environment than traditional mouthwash. But there is something else to consider, something related to the carbon footprint.
Mouthwash tablets weigh less than liquid mouthwash. They are also more compact and easier to ship. Shippers can move more mouthwash tablets without burning any more fuel. So, in the long run, we burn less fuel by shipping our mouthwash in tablet form.
From our perspective, mouthwash tablets are better for both you and the environment than traditional mouthwash.
