Clean teeth, happy environment

The Oral-B Clic manual toothbrush with replaceable brush heads is the perfect compromise between the standard manual toothbrush and the electric toothbrush with replaceable brush heads.

I have always been hesitant to buy an electric toothbrush because of the environmental footprint. At the same time, tossing out a manual toothbrush every month and adding all of that waste to landfills is not ideal either. The Oral-B Clic manual toothbrush with replaceable brush heads is the perfect “in between” solution. The body is a sturdy metal and silicone construction that can stand up to years of use. The brush heads are also well made and can last up to three months (assuming typical twice-daily brushing). When the head gets old, it can be popped off and replaced with a fresh one. Since only the head gets thrown away, and it only needs to be replaced as few as four times a year, the amount of waste is greatly reduced.

The biggest adjustment is that the toothbrush is a bit heavier than a traditional manual toothbrush and the initial investment is greater than for a traditional manual toothbrush. However, it takes less than a year for the investment to pay off both in cost and in reduced waste. I’m loving this toothbrush!
