Zwei Minuten für die Erde nach jeder Mahlzeit: Zähne grün putzen

When it comes to a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, sometimes small changes are almost as important as big ones. While it may seem like a smaller and more insignificant daily activity than brushing your teeth is difficult, the opposite is true: Every time you pick up your toothbrush, you have the opportunity to make an important ecological choice.

When it comes to a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, sometimes small changes are almost as important as big ones. While it may seem difficult to complete a smaller and more insignificant daily activity than brushing your teeth, it's quite the opposite: Every time you pick up your toothbrush, you have the opportunity to make an important ecological choice.

The fact that brushing only takes a few minutes a day doesn't mean it's an activity that's completely indifferent to the environment we live in. Quite the opposite: There are many ways to make this daily chore greener—and... maintain white teeth. How? We have some suggestions!

Change your toothpaste

Gone are the days when people who wanted to maintain organic oral hygiene could only brush their teeth with baking soda. In our organic shop, you'll find numerous alternatives to conventional toothpaste: toothpastes formulated with herbal extracts and natural minerals that gently care for teeth and gums while being environmentally friendly.

Replace the toothbrush

There are several different "green" options to choose from in the toothbrush category—you can easily pick the one that's most convenient for you. You can start by choosing a toothbrush made by a company committed to using environmentally friendly materials or manufacturing methods. Fully biodegradable bamboo toothbrushes have become increasingly popular in recent years, but the specific structure of their bristles isn't to everyone's taste—but it's worth trying for yourself! If you use an electric toothbrush daily, consider whether the extra energy used to charge it really makes a difference to the health and appearance of your teeth.

Turn off the tap

Undoubtedly, a special place in hell is reserved for people who brush their teeth without turning off the faucet. Did you know that giving up this harmful habit saves up to 10 cubic meters of water every year? That's enough water to fill a small swimming pool!

Consider: How many products do you really need?

We don't want to discourage anyone from a comprehensive approach to oral hygiene. If you feel the routine you've developed is right for you, no problem! However, keep in mind that every other dental product—apart from a toothbrush and toothpaste, and according to some dentists, even dental floss—produces additional waste, mostly plastic. Therefore, we recommend carefully examining the composition and functionality of the products you use: You may find that some are 100% marketing and 0% real.
