6/19/2023 0 Comments Bite toothpaste bits reviewsIts formula boasts “100% gluten-free, vegan, and cruelty-free” ingredients, which are easily found on Bite’s website. *Note: This option triggers an automatic subscription which can be cancelled any time.* Is Bite Toothpaste Earth-friendly?īite checks more than a few Earth-friendly boxes, positioning itself as a zero-waste toothpaste option. However, a $30 four-month supply (248 bits) with free no-rush shipping boils down to 12 cents per bit. That boils down to 27 cents per bit, which is pretty expensive. Sometime later this month I’ll realize I only have a few bits left and order more.Ī single order of 62 bits cost $16.71 ($12 for the product, $3.94 shipping and $1.78 for Uncle Sam). One benefit that I haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere is that I won’t have to play the “squeeze every last drop of paste out of the tube” game with this product. However, Bite seems well aware and claims to be working on a formula with fluoride. The one noticeable drawback is that Bite products do not contain fluoride, which is largely considered beneficial by the dental community. Pros and consīite responding to requests for a fluoride option. My teeth felt clean and slippery, and my wife didn’t leave me when I “hawwwwed” in her face afterward. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Both flavors are in the lowest abrasion category.įor both of our sakes, I’m going to spare the before/after pictures of my teeth and mouth. In terms of abrasivity, Bite Mint and Charcoal score 43 and 24, respectively, on an RDA (radioactive dentin abrasion) scale of 0-250. It has a mild, pleasant mint kick that shouldn’t scare anyone away. I purchased the Fresh Mint flavor, which tastes somewhere between the blandness of Tom’s of Maine Botanically Bright Spearmint and the “I want to swallow this it tastes so good” of Crest, Colgate and other big brands. As mentioned, the paste was a little thinner than most, so if anything I was focused on making sure I didn’t drool any on my shirt.īite currently has four flavors: Fresh Mint, Activated Charcoal, Berry Twist and Autumn Spice. I didn’t have a big, silly grin on my face like the folks on Bite’s website but I wasn’t frowning or gagging either. The bit crushed easily between my teeth and mixed with my saliva and wet toothbrush to create a thin paste. So, yeah…unless my teeth start falling out or my next cleaning reveals I’ve made a huge mistake, I’m going to give these bad boys high marks.Place one (1) bit in your mouth, bite down, brush with a wet toothbrush – twice a day, every day. It’s definitely more expensive than just buying Crest or something at Walmart, but I appreciate the cutting down on waste and getting back to a more simple ingredient list.Ĭurrently the six-month subscription for either flavor is only $40-something…if it’s still that “cheap” after my next paycheck I’ll probably subscribe. The texture isn’t great, and I wish it was a bit more foamy. Between the brushing and the mouthwashing my teeth feel super clean after. My solution? I bought some store-brand fluoride mouthwash.Īlllll that to say, overall I like the experience. The creators of Bite are anti-chemicals, so they don’t include any fluoride. I really feel like I need fluoride, though. I’ve been working on improving that, though! I keep floss picks in my car and try to floss at least every couple days while I’m driving to/from work. It’s mostly genetics, and a laziness when it comes to flossing. There isn’t a huge difference…but the Mint tastes a bit more…minty…in my opinion.
