Bite Whitening Toothpaste Tablets – Nano Hydroxyapatite & Xylitol (Mint) | Sensitive Teeth Friendly | No Fluoride, Vegan, Cruelty-Free | Travel-Size | 2 Bottles (124 Bits) | Made in USA

Finally, there is a product out there for sensitive teeth, that doesn’t make me cringe every time I need to brush my teeth. Initially, the thought of brushing with charcoal seemed weird, but these are absolutely fantastic! My teeth feel incredibly clean after every time I brush. My husband even noticed that my teeth were looking whiter which is a huge bonus. (Yes he has already ordered his own bite bits!) The mint is the perfect combination of not too spicy and perfect amount of mintiness to feel clean and refreshing. The bottles are incredibly adorable, and easy for travel for the summer which is great. I had to attach pictures of the packaging because it was beautiful as well as everything is environmentally safe, which makes me feel even better about purchasing. And who doesn’t love Amazon because everything arrives so quickly. The turnaround time is great :)

I have battled with regular toothpaste causing the inside of my cheeks to lightly slough (gross, I know) for months and months. A friend recommended Bite and while it took some getting used to, I don't think I'll ever go back to conventional toothpaste again. I crunch up the bits with my incisors since otherwise the chunks can lodge in the grooves of the molars (which strictly speaking, wouldn't be a problem since brushing would remove the stuck pieces anyway). The flavor isn't too strong but still leaves my mouth feeling fresh, and I haven't experienced any of the sloughing that plagued me with Crest and Sensodyne. I also love the reduced waste and absence of plastic in the packaging!A couple people in the reviews mentioned there is no fluoride in the Bite products. I actually read three peer-reviewed studies that noted the fluoride alternative used (nano-hydroxyapatite). Fluoride has some anti-microbial properties that hydroxyapatite doesn't, but the hydroxyapatite does help prevent harmful bacteria from attaching to the enamel so it's still protective. Additionally, hydroxyapatite performs much better than fluoride when it comes to whitening and remineralizing teeth, so it's great for brightening your smile while also strengthening your teeth. Hydroxyapatite is also non-toxic and safe to swallow. So your mouth will still be clean and protected even without fluoride being present.

I take these camping. They're fine for that use: no mess, portable, effective breath freshening (especially when you have little water). Not sure they're super effective as a dentifrice, though. They're tiny. They foam a bit, but they just don't have much substance. Also, they basically just dissolve and I don't get any sense of abrasion.

I tried Bite as an alternative to traditional toothpaste, as I'm trying to find a toothpaste with cleaner, healthier ingredients. I was pleasantly surprised that Bite has a great flavor and the tablets aren't chalky when you bite into them. Once you get going, there is a slight foaming to it, but not as much as traditional toothpaste, which is fine with me. My teeth feel clean and fresh afterward. My favorite part about Bite is that there is no strange colors and extra goop that stick to my toothbrush afterward. It's less messy than traditional toothpaste. I also used them on a trip recently, and I found them very convenient for travel.

I tried two brands of tooth tablets and these didn't impress me.I like that they're smaller than the other tablets and come in a smaller bottle. I don't like that they're firm and stick in my teeth until I brush and brush to disperse them.I realized (after I ordered them) that the glass bottle isn't really recyclable. It's better than a plastic toothpaste tube, but not by much.

I have used these for about a month and I am pleased with them so far. I was a bit nervous about dry toothpaste, but they work well and leave my teeth feeling really clean. I do not think they are suitable for children because the dry texture takes some getting used to, but for an adult they are perfect. I am going to see how they work for my 14 year old when he goes camping with his troop. This seems like an easier travel alternative to traditional toothpaste tubes. I think they foam more than the toothpaste that I have been using and I am very happy that they do not include fluoride.

I took this product to our University's School of Dentistry and asked them about it. They pointed out that 1. Its not FDA or ADA approved 2. Charcoal and hydroxyapatite can each cause your enamel to erode, this will make your teeth more sensitive and allow cavities. (If it's too harsh for teeth, I'm thinking its too harsh for gums.) 3. One issue with oral tablets is the uneven application of ingredients, depending on how finely you grind up the bits with your teeth. With toothpaste, it's ready mixed to ensure each drop contains all ingredients. 4. We need fluoride, period. It's why they put it in our water. With so many people drinking bottled water, they may not get enough fluoride...especially children. I understand Bite makes a fluoride type, but the fact remains, it has not been approved by the dental community. Flouride dries your mouth; this doesn't because there's no fluoride. So I'm not sure if their fluoride one dries your mouth or not, but if not then how much fluoride can there be? 5. Cost especially for a family can be a bit much for some.According to CNN, "Bite began when founder Lindsey McCormick decided to make her own plastic-free and natural toothpaste tablets. After completing online chemistry classes, consulting with dentists and purchasing a tableting machine, she began hand-pressing toothpaste bits in her living room." I'm not sure if that does or doesn't qualify her to make dental products.I liked that it is vegan, cruelty free, and sustainable (or earth friendly), and the bottle is cute, but that's it.I really wanted to love this but it's just not worth ruining my teeth in the long run. I hope someone can make a good Earth friendly toothpaste in the future.
