If you’re one of those people who are trying to cut back on liquids/aerosols/gels and anything else that must be placed in that silly 3-1-1 bag, then the Archtek Toothpaste Tablets may be for you.
While some of us have been using Toothpaste powder, and occasionally getting it all over the place, Archtek, which makes dental supplies, has come up with a toothpaste tablet.
Made of of lots of chemicals and things that are supposed to help keep your teeth clean and prevent disease, they are fairly easy to use.
Pop one tablet in your mouth and chew. No water needed. Then brush.
The tablet mixes with your saliva and makes a sort of foam. Not the tingling type or enough where someone will think you have rabies. Just a nice gentle solution.
I brushed normally, with my electric, although I take a manual toothbrush when I travel, and when finished had a minty fresh taste in my mouth.
With toothpaste powder I actually feel it on my teeth. With these, you have to take their word that the thin foam formed after chewing one of these is actually cleaning your teeth. But, you do finish with fresh breath.
So, if you’re are looking to get rid of toothpaste during your travels, and want convenience, these should be considered. At home, I’ll keep using toothpaste.
