Protecting oral health and the planet

Featured Products Promotional Features

Many people around the world – especially those of younger generations – are making it a priority to address climate change.[i] Many are actively making changes to their lifestyles as a result, implementing new behaviours and utilising more sustainable products and services wherever there is opportunity to do so. These adjustments often include small, every day swaps to reduce plastic waste, use less energy or eat more sustainable foods, and many solutions are relatively accessible to most of the UK population.

In response, the majority of businesses and service providers are looking to cater to these public-driven demands by adapting their packaging, their resources or their approach in order to promote enhanced sustainability and meet the expectations of their clients. Arm & Hammer™ is among those who are advocating for a greener future and a more sustainable future for the dental profession with the latest 100% Natural Baking Soda Toothpaste range.

100% Natural Baking Soda

Arm & Hammer™ oral health solutions are powered by baking soda – a naturally-occurring compound used extensively over time for its health benefits. A key ingredient of Arm & Hammer™ 100% Natural Baking Soda Toothpaste, it gently yet effectively removes plaque and staining from the teeth to give patients a whiter, brighter and healthier smile. In fact, toothpastes containing baking soda are significantly more effective at plaque removal than those that without.[ii] 

Baking soda offers benefits in both restorative and preventive dentistry, with acid neutralising properties to support remineralisation and fight cariogenic bacteria, as well as the ability to hinder inflammation and aid healing of periodontal tissues alongside mechanical debridement. There is also evidence that baking soda offers a deodorising effect to combat halitosis.[iii] As such, it’s no wonder that baking soda is such a powerful force when carefully formulated within the Arm & Hammer™ toothpaste range!

100% recyclable

Another feature that distinguishes the new Arm & HammerTM 100% Natural Baking Soda Toothpaste range is that it is the first in the UK to be fully recyclable. The product packaging incorporates a 100% recyclable carton, tube and cap to promote greener and safer waste disposal in homes all over the UK. It meets the changing demands of the general population, providing a small step for people to take in reducing their impact on the environment.

The toothpaste formula is also vegan-friendly and free from both preservatives and artificial colours to deliver a completely natural solution that suits the needs of a wide range of people.
