Toothpaste Tablets

Our tabs are made from natural ingredients. Almost 100% are labeled food-grade. So you could, in theory, eat them, but we don't really recommend it 😉. This applies to humans only. Our tabs are not safe for pets.

Yes they are. Our toothpaste tab formulas have all undergone a thorough safety assessment by a certified laboratory in Germany that evaluates their intended use with daily exposure to all individual ingredients. This ensures its safety not only to you, but also to our environment and demonstrates compliance to Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009.

No they do not. All of our tablets are fluoride-free. You can read more about why here. Instead, we use HAp, a non-toxic (when swallowed) alternative that has been shown to be just as effective in helping remineralize and protect your teeth from caries.

Yes! We use a natural tree bark high in natural saponins (foaming stuff) that is native to central Chile. This is a healthier and natural alternative to SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate), the commonly used synthetic foaming agent in most commercial toothpastes, shampoos and detergents.

Twice a day or more, but you can use them as often as you brush your teeth.

We think so. Very much, but you tell us ;)

Since we do not use preservatives of any kind try to use them within 6 months after opening your bottle.

NO. Under no circumstances use them on your pets. Xylitol is a key ingredient in our tabs, which is completely natural and safe for humans but not for our four-legged furry friends.

It's not recommended for kids under 6 years of age unless they have the whole “brush and not swallow” technique down.

It is not generally recommended to use essential oils when pregnant or breastfeeding. Many do but to side with caution we recommend that you ask your physician for advice.

HOW DO I BRUSH MY TEETH WITH NATCH?

This is very simple, place a Natch Tab in your mouth and chew (best chewed with the front teeth), until you have no more crumbs left. The tab will melt and together with your saliva it becomes a toothpaste. Then, brush you always do. It is best to brush without water and with a dry toothbrush, so you do not dilute the high-quality natural ingredients. Spit it out after brushing. Rinsing is not necessary. Why? because the longer hydroxyapatite makes contact with your teeth, the better it helps to protect them. Theoretically, you can also swallow the tabs without hesitation, because of top quality ingredients and pure nature elements. Have fun 💚 and enjoy your new Natch routine.

Yes, unless you've developed a novel way of brushing your teeth without one 😉. If so, get in touch, we want to know your secret!

Yes it does, but take extra care in extra rinsing to ensure all powdered paste doesn't get stuck between your braces.

There are a million ways to use Natch tabs, in fact every person in our office does it differently! We suggest alternating the way that you chew them, try to change where you crush the tab in your mouth, or try swishing them around before you brush. Switching to toothpaste tablets takes a bit to get used to but we are sure you will find a way that works for you! If there is still a bit left between your teeth, just brush a couple of times on this part and it will be gone. (Pro tip :)

CAN I USE MY NATCH TABS WITH MY ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH?

You can use Natch Tabs with all electric or manual brushes. Just remember to bite the tabs well with your front teeth and then you're ready to go. Have fun!

how to natch:

crush.
brush.
enjoy!

I HAVE STRANGE "fluff" ON MY NATCH TABS. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

First of all, you don't need to worry. The tabs only react somewhat sensitively to strong temperature fluctuations. A core principle at Natch is to provide dental care with exceptional taste that protects your teeth and your oral microbiome. To achieve this, we use only the best ingredients from Mother Nature.

The “fluff”, which looks a bit like candy floss, is menthol crystals, i.e. pure menthol. This is a natural reaction to large temperature differences (e.g. during transportation).

Normally, this process is counteracted with aggressive ingredients. To protect our oral health, we at Natch have deliberately decided against this.

If you keep the tabs at normal room temperature for a while, you can shake the bottle gently and most of the menthol crystals will fall to the bottom of the bottle or dissolve.

Although the tabs with the menthol crystals show an optical change, they do not affect the effect and quality of our toothpaste in any way. We can therefore assure you with a clear conscience that the external changes are completely harmless and the tabs can still be used. We have this checked regularly in clinical laboratory tests. Nevertheless, we have revised our formulas to minimize these reactions. Currently, these effects hardly occur in the new productions.

To ensure maximum freshness, you should always keep the bottle closed and without contact with water or water vapor.

I HAVE SPOTS ON MY TABS. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

First of all, you don't need to worry. The tabs only react somewhat sensitively to humidity.

A core principle at Natch is to provide dental care with exceptional taste that protects your teeth and your oral microbiome. To achieve this, we use only the best ingredients from Mother Nature.

In rare cases, the tabs may develop small dark spots if the humidity is high. The humidity is absorbed by the xylitol and the clay in the tabs. Normally, this process is counteracted with aggressive ingredients. To protect our oral health, we have deliberately decided against this with Natch. There is no mold involved, as the tabs are produced without water.

Although the tabs show a visual change with the stains, they do not affect the effect and quality of our toothpaste in any way. We can therefore assure you with a clear conscience that the external changes are completely harmless and the tabs can still be used. We have this checked regularly in clinical laboratory tests. Nevertheless, we have revised our formulas to minimize these reactions. Currently, these effects hardly occur in the new productions.

Good to Know

Calcium Hydroxyapatite actually makes up approximately 95% of your enamel and 70% of your dentin, the HAp in our tabs is derived from phosphate rocks making it Vegan. It is designed to be highly effective in combating caries, reducing sensitivity and remineralizing your teeth. Fun Fact: HAp was created by NASA to help regenerate the teeth and bones of astronauts returning from zero-gravity missions.Click here to learn more.

Our tabs are produced in the European Union and shipped from Berlin, Germany with love.

Our Tabs have undergone a lab certified abrasivity test and were given a value of 37. What does this mean? Toothpastes are given a RDA (Relative Dentin Abrasivity) value based on how abrasive they are to your teeth and underlying dentin. The safe range for everyday use is below 250. A toothpaste with a RDA value below 70 is considered low abrasive, between 70-100 is considered medium abrasive and anything above 100 is considered highly abrasive. This means that a value of 37 guarantees Natch tabs are absolutely safe for everyday use.
