๐HAPPY EARTH DAY!๐
Dental tips for saving the environment:
1. Turn off your water while brushing. Or, even better, don't use water at all! It is not actually necessary to use water (aside from rinsing your brush when you're done) when brushing your teeth. You can add toothpaste to a dry brush, brush your teeth, spit and then rinse with a small amount of water.
2. Replace your plastic toothbrush with one that is environmentally friendly, such as a bamboo toothbrush! OR simply reuse your plastic toothbrushes for things like cleaning purposes, art projects, etc!
3. Use environmentally friendly floss and toothpaste! There are lots of options out there for these - do some research and start saving the earth!
