![]() ![]() This is safe for humans but toxic to dogs. ![]() ![]() Good to Know: Bite Toothpaste has xylitol in it. Bite toothpaste bits no fluoride free#Purchasing & Shipping: Shipping was free on subscriptions and orders over $30 the website was a little confusing to understand between the packages and subscriptions. The toothpaste and floss are in refillable glass jars. Packaging: Cardboard box for shipping and for holding the products. Instead, it contains nHAP, which is a cruelty-free mineral alternative that strengthens teeth and addresses sensitivity. The floss is a little more complicated and Bite goes through the whole deal here.Įxtra Info: Even though they had been working to create a fluoride toothpaste, Bite Toothpaste does not contain fluoride. The floss is vegan, made from polylactic acid and candelila wax. How ‘Clean’ Is This? Zero plastic: The Bite Toothbrush is made of bamboo handle and castor bean bristles. Without a subscription, the floss is $12 and set of 2 toothbrushes is $12. It isn’t possible to get a 4-month sized toothpaste without a subscription, but you can get 1-month Toothpaste bits for $12. We got a 4 month supply/subscription of: Floss ($5), Toothbrush ($5), and Berry Tooth ($30). As always, if you have any questions please email me at I will be happy to help.Cost & Products: There are various mix and match methods to subscribing or buying ad hoc. Until then, try Bite bits or CTx4 1100 or 5000. I will keep searching for products that contain fluoride, nano-hyrdroxyapatite and xylitol and also come in a recyclable container. I would encourage you to either eliminate soda and sports drinks from your diet altogether or only have them occasionally. Sports drinks like Gatorade are also acidic and sugary. I replaced soda in my diet with sparkling water and don’t miss it at all. I’ve seen soda destroy teeth faster than anything and the worst scenario is when people sip on it over prolonged periods. That combination is the absolute worst thing you can do to your teeth because it the acids lower the ph in the mouth and then the sugars attack the enamel. The worst combination is soda that contains sugar and acids. It’s terrible for our teeth and our bodies. I’ve been working on eliminating most sugars out of my diet and I would encourage you to do the same. It is a great product and I think it has tremendous benefits for teeth.Īlas, it is my opinion that, in most humans, we likely wouldn’t get tooth decay if we didn’t consume refined sugars. Plaque bugs will ingest the xylitol but they cannot digest it so it helps reduce plaque and bacterial levels in the mouth. ![]() Xylitol is a natural sugar but it does not cause cavities like most sugars. You’ve probably seen xylitol in gum (Trident) and in lozenge form (Spry). You might notice that the Bits toothpaste tabs also contain xylitiol. The CTx4 products do contain fluoride but they also contain nano-hydroxyapatite and xylitol. We sell CTx4 5000 at my office, which is a prescription strength only available through a dentist. It is a traditional tube and it comes in a gel form. Unfortunately, it does not come in a sustainable package like Bits. The best product that I know of that contains nano-hydroxyapatite, fluoride and xylitol is from a company called CariFree and the product is CTx4 1100 or CTx4 5000. Nano-hydroxyapatite is an actual ingredient that makes up our enamel. If you have a history of many cavities or if you have low saliva flow or dry mouth or are a frequent snacker or soda drinker then you definitely need a product that contains fluoride and nano-hydroxyapatite and xylitol. There are some people who probably need fluoride and other remineralizing agents. If you want me to explain why, please email me and I will be happy to tell you what I’ve learned. I do think there is some value to using fluoride topically, but I am totally against it being put into our drinking water. The product I recommended (Bite toothpaste bits) does not contain fluoride and I know that some people want or need fluoride and some people prefer not to use it. I realized that I left out some important information in my last email regarding toothbrush and toothpaste waste. ![]()
