Product & Usage
What are toothpaste tablets?
Toothpaste tablets are basically toothpaste in solid, bite-sized form. Think of them as a cleaner, greener alternative to the traditional paste. They contain all the essentials to clean and protect your teeth, but instead of squeezing from a tube, you chew a tablet to create a minty paste. This means no mess, no waste, and a totally zero-waste oral care routine.
How do I use the ENML toothpaste tablets?
It’s super easy! Pop one tablet into your mouth and chew it until it dissolves into a paste. Then brush with a wet toothbrush for about 2 minutes, just as you would with regular toothpaste, and spit out when you’re done. There’s no need for excess rinsing – just enjoy that fresh, dentist-clean feeling afterward. Use ENML tablets twice a day (morning and night) for your best results.
How do I use the ENML mouthwash tablets?
ENML Mouthwash Tablets make rinsing just as convenient. Simply chew a mouthwash tablet until it becomes a fine powder, and swish it around your mouth for at least 30 seconds, some people like to have a small sip of water to help with the consistency. Spit it out when finished – you’ll get a refreshing, minty clean without the need for big bottles of mouthwash. It’s mouthwash made travel-friendly and hassle-free!
How many tablets come in one jar, and how long will one jar last?
Each jar contains 60 tablets (for both the toothpaste and the mouthwash). If you’re brushing twice a day, one jar of 60 toothpaste tablets will last about one month (30 days of brushing). For mouthwash, using one tablet daily, a jar can last two months. Of course, your usage may vary, but we’ve portioned it out so that one jar is roughly a month’s supply of toothpaste (or more if you skip some days or use it once daily).
How are ENML toothpaste tablets better than regular toothpaste?
- Mess-Free & Travel-Friendly: No drippy tubes or TSA worries. ENML tablets are dry and compact, so you can take them anywhere without leaks. They’re TSA-approved and perfect for travel.
- Eco-Friendly & Zero-Waste: ENML is 100% plastic-free and rooted in sustainability. No more tossing out empty plastic toothpaste tubes (which take centuries to decompose). Our refillable glass jars and compostable refill pouches mean a smaller environmental footprint.
- Dentist-Developed & Effective: Our tablets were developed by a team of leading dentists using cutting-edge oral care research. They contain micro-hydroxyapatite, a mineral that actively rebuilds tooth enamel, plus other proven ingredients for oral health. You get the same (or better!) cavity protection and whitening power as a traditional toothpaste, but in a modern form.
- Clean, Natural Ingredients: ENML tablets are fluoride-free and SLS-free. We use naturally derived cleansers and flavors – no harsh foaming agents, artificial dyes, or unnecessary fillers. It’s a gentle formula that’s safe for you and your family (see more on ingredients below).
- Convenient & Pre-Portioned: Each tablet is a perfect dose of toothpaste. You’ll never accidentally put too much or too little on your brush. This makes brushing simpler and even a bit fun. Just chew, brush, and you’re done!
In short, ENML tablets turn your daily brushing into a neat, eco-conscious, and effective ritual. Once you try them, you’ll see why many say they won’t go back to traditional toothpaste tubes!
Can I use an electric toothbrush with these tablets?
Yes, absolutely. ENML Toothpaste Tablets work great with manual and electric toothbrushes alike. Just chew the tablet first to form the paste in your mouth, then use your electric toothbrush as normal. You’ll get the same foamy, thorough clean. In fact, many of our customers pair the tablets with their favorite electric toothbrush for an even deeper clean – it’s a perfect combo for that dentist-fresh feeling.
Ingredients & Effectiveness
What ingredients are in ENML toothpaste tablets?
ENML toothpaste tablets are made with natural, science-backed ingredients (and nothing sketchy). Key ingredients include:
- Micro-Hydroxyapatite (mHAp): A mineral that makes up your teeth’s enamel. We use this fluoride alternative to remineralize and strengthen your teeth with every brush. (Hydroxyapatite is even FDA-approved for safety and is the hero ingredient that restores your smile.)
- Calcium Carbonate & Baking Soda: Gentle polishing agents that help remove plaque and surface stains. They clean and whiten without being abrasive to enamel.
- Xylitol and Sorbitol: Natural sweeteners (derived from plants) that make the tabs taste pleasant. Xylitol is actually a tooth-friendly ingredient – it helps fight cavity-causing bacteria in the mouth.
- Natural Mint Flavor (Peppermint & Spearmint): We use real peppermint and spearmint leaf powders and menthol for a refreshing flavor. These not only freshen breath but also have mild antibacterial properties.
Coconut-Derived Cleanser: Instead of SLS, we use a gentle surfactant (like sodium cocoyl glycinate) from coconut, which helps the tablet foam lightly and clean your teeth without irritation.
Rest assured, everything in our tablets is 100% vegan and cruelty-free (no animal-derived ingredients, no animal testing). We also avoid common allergens and irritants – there’s no fluoride, no sulfates (SLS), no parabens, and no artificial dyes or preservatives in our formula. What you get is simply a naturally effective blend of ingredients that are safe for daily use.
Do ENML tablets contain fluoride?
No. Our toothpaste tablets are completely fluoride-free by design. Instead of fluoride, we use micro-hydroxyapatite to remineralize and protect your teeth. Hydroxyapatite is a proven alternative to fluoride – it restores minerals to tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities without any of the risks associated with fluoride. This means you don’t have to worry about ingesting fluoride, and it’s one reason even kids and pregnant women can use ENML safely. (For more on why we chose hydroxyapatite, see the next question!)
Is hydroxyapatite better than fluoride?
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a natural mineral that comprises most of our tooth enamel, and it’s been gaining attention as a safer alternative to fluoride. Studies have shown that hydroxyapatite can be just as effective as fluoride in preventing cavities and remineralizing teeth. In fact, some research suggests that hydroxyapatite actually rebuilds enamel with greater efficacy than fluoride in the long run.
The big advantage is safety: HAp is non-toxic and safe to swallow, whereas fluoride must be spit out and can be harmful if too much is ingested (especially for kids). Hydroxyapatite works by integrating into your enamel, filling in microscopic weak spots and making teeth stronger and whiter. Fluoride also protects enamel, but it can cause fluorosis or other side effects in excess.
So, in summary: Both fluoride and hydroxyapatite help prevent tooth decay, but hydroxyapatite offers those benefits without the drawbacks of fluoride. That’s why ENML uses micro-hydroxyapatite – you get enamel protection and rebuilding power that’s effective, natural, and worry-free.
Do toothpaste tablets really work as well as traditional toothpaste to clean teeth?
Yes – when used properly, toothpaste tablets clean your teeth just as effectively as regular paste. The physical act of brushing (with a toothbrush) is what removes plaque, and you’ll be doing the same brushing with a tablet. Our tablets foam up gently and contain polishing ingredients that help remove plaque and food debris from your teeth. In fact, brushing with ENML tablets will remove plaque and grime just as well as a traditional toothpaste would.
On the protection side, ENML tablets are packed with ingredients like micro-HAp and xylitol that actively fight the causes of cavities. Xylitol, for example, reduces the bacteria that lead to plaque and tooth decay, while micro-hydroxyapatite repairs any weakened spots in your enamel. This means you’re not only cleaning your teeth but also reinforcing them with every use. Studies show that our fluoride-free approach (using hydroxyapatite) is equally effective in preventing cavities, so you won’t be missing out on any cavity protection. In short, toothpaste tablets do work – they’ll keep your teeth clean, your enamel strong, and your mouth healthy, provided you brush thoroughly twice a day.
Do ENML toothpaste tablets whiten teeth naturally?
Yes, our toothpaste tablets can help whiten your teeth naturally. They contain gentle abrasives (like calcium carbonate) that polish away surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, etc. These abrasives are rough enough to lift stains, but still gentle enough to avoid damaging your enamel. In addition, micro-hydroxyapatite has a natural whitening effect over time – as it rebuilds and smooths your enamel, your teeth tend to look brighter and shinier. We don’t use any harsh bleaching chemicals, so the whitening is gradual and safe. With consistent use, you should notice your smile maintaining a clean, white appearance that comes from actually healthier teeth (not just bleached teeth).
Will my breath be fresh after using ENML tablets?
Absolutely! Our tablets are formulated to leave your mouth feeling minty-fresh. We use natural peppermint and spearmint, along with menthol, which give a long-lasting fresh breath sensation. As you chew and brush, the minty oils are released to kill odor-causing bacteria and neutralize bad breath. Also, by removing plaque and food particles that can cause odor, the tablets help keep your breath fresh for hours. Many users report that their mouth feels truly clean and their breath stays pleasantly fresh after brushing with ENML – no overpowering fake mint, just a clean natural freshness.
Are ENML toothpaste tablets safe for sensitive teeth?
Yes – in fact, they’re a great choice if you have sensitive teeth. Our formula is free of harsh ingredients (for example, no SLS, which can irritate sensitive mouths) and instead includes soothing, reparative components. The micro-hydroxyapatite in our tablets is known to reduce sensitivity by restoring mineral density to exposed sensitive areas of teeth. Over time, as your enamel gets strengthened, you may find that things like cold water or sweet foods bother your teeth less. We also use gentle cleansers and avoid strong abrasives, so the cleaning process won’t wear down your teeth or irritate your gums. Many people with sensitivity have successfully switched to hydroxyapatite-based toothpaste like ENML and found it helps alleviate sensitivity while still keeping their teeth clean and healthy.
Safety & Care
Are ENML toothpaste tablets safe for kids?
For older kids, yes – kids generally love the novelty of chewing their toothpaste! ENML tablets are safe and effective for children, with supervision. We do not recommend them for children under 3 years old, however, because the tablets could pose a choking hazard for little ones. If you want to use ENML for a younger child, you can crush a tablet into a powder, then gently brush it onto their teeth with a wet brush (so they don’t need to chew). Always supervise children while brushing.
Our formula contains no fluoride, so you don’t have to worry about fluoride ingestion with kids. The ingredients are non-toxic if swallowed in small amounts. That said, very young children might not be able to spit out after brushing, so using a rice-sized smear of a safe kids toothpaste or a crushed ENML tablet on the brush can be alternatives until they’re older. Once a child is old enough to chew and spit (usually 3+), they can use ENML tablets like adults do – and make brushing fun!
(Note: For mouthwash tablets, we advise only older children (around 6 and up) use those, since a child needs to reliably swish and spit without swallowing.)
Are the tablets safe for pets (dogs/cats)?
No, please keep ENML toothpaste and mouthwash tablets away from pets. The xylitol in our formula, while great for human teeth, is extremely toxic to dogs and cats if ingested. Even a small amount of xylitol can be very dangerous to pets. Just as you would pet-proof any sugar-free gum or candy containing xylitol, make sure your toothpaste tablets are stored out of reach of your furry friends. If a pet ever accidentally eats a tablet, contact a veterinarian immediately. It’s best to err on the side of caution and treat the tablets like any other medication when it comes to pets – in other words, for human use only.
What if I accidentally swallow a toothpaste tablet or the foam?
No worries – ENML tablets are made with food-grade ingredients that are safe if accidentally swallowed in small amounts. Since we don’t use fluoride, there’s no risk of fluoride ingestion issues. Hydroxyapatite is a form of calcium phosphate and is non-toxic even if swallowed. Similarly, xylitol and sorbitol are common sweeteners found in foods. So, if you happen to swallow the contents while brushing, you’ll be fine (especially compared to swallowing fluoride toothpaste, which is not recommended).
That said, we generally advise spitting out after brushing, simply because you want to remove the used debris and plaque that you’ve brushed off your teeth. Swallowing a little bit of residue won’t harm you, but it’s better to spit and rinse lightly for cleanliness. In short: don’t panic if you or a child swallows some – our toothpaste tablets are safe to ingest – but try to spit out the foamy leftovers just as you would with any toothpaste. And of course, keep them out of reach of very young kids to prevent eating them like candy.
Are ENML products safe to use during pregnancy or nursing?
Yes, our toothpaste tablets are generally considered safe for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. In fact, some expecting mothers prefer fluoride-free products like ours to avoid any concerns with swallowing fluoride. All the ingredients in ENML tablets are non-toxic and gentle, so you’re not exposing yourself to harsh chemicals. Hydroxyapatite has been used safely in toothpastes for decades (it was even originally used by NASA astronauts!), and there’s no known risk in pregnancy.
As always, if you have any specific health concerns, you can consult your doctor or dentist. But you can feel confident that brushing with ENML while pregnant or nursing is a safe choice – you’ll be maintaining your oral health with natural ingredients, which is great for you and baby. Good oral hygiene is especially important during pregnancy, and ENML lets you achieve it without chemical additives.
How should I store the tablets, and what is their shelf life?
Store your ENML toothpaste and mouthwash tablets in a cool, dry place out of direct moisture. The best spot is at room temperature (for example, in a cabinet or on a dry counter, with the lid closed). Keeping moisture out will prevent the tablets from dissolving or crumbling in the jar. Make sure to keep the jar’s lid screwed on tight when not in use – treat it similar to how you’d store vitamins or mints.
When stored properly, the tablets have a shelf life of up to 12 months (one year). They should remain effective and fresh in that time frame. You might notice the mint scent fade slightly over many months, but the cleaning power will remain. Avoid storing them in humid places like a constantly damp bathroom shelf or near a steamy shower; if they do get wet, they could start to dissolve or grow soft. In summary: cool, dry, and sealed is the way to go, and your tablets will stay in perfect condition for months.
Orders & Shipping
Can I buy ENML products without a subscription? What about refills?
No subscription is required – you can absolutely purchase ENML toothpaste and mouthwash tablets as one-time purchases whenever you need them. In fact, we offer convenient refill pouches so you can reorder and refill your glass jar without any commitment. The refill packs are typically priced lower and use minimal packaging, which saves you money and cuts down on waste. Just pour the refill tablets into your original ENML jar and you’re good to go.
If you love the product (which we think you will!), you can always reorder on your own schedule. We don’t currently force any auto-ship subscriptions. That said, we may introduce an optional “subscribe and save” program in the future for those who want the convenience of automatic deliveries. But it’s entirely up to you – you can stick with buying refills as needed, or subscribe later if that option becomes available. Either way, we want you to have full control.
(Tip: Since one jar is about a month’s supply, some customers like to buy a few months’ worth or bundle toothpaste + mouthwash to hit the free shipping minimum and have a little stock on hand.)
Do you ship outside of the United States?
Not at this time. Currently, we ship ENML products within the United States only. We hope to expand to international shipping as we grow (we know there’s interest from other countries!), but for now we’re focusing on our U.S. customers. If you’re outside the US, stay tuned – we’ll announce on our website/newsletter once international shipping becomes available. And feel free to drop us a message about where you are; it helps us prioritize our next steps.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes, we do! We offer free standard shipping on all domestic (U.S.) orders over $30.00. If your cart subtotal is $30 or more, free shipping will automatically apply at checkout. (For reference, a jar of toothpaste tablets plus a jar of mouthwash tablets would qualify you for free shipping.) For orders under $30, a small flat-rate shipping fee will apply at checkout to help cover postage. We try to keep those rates as low as possible. Bottom line: if you order a couple of items or bundle up, you likely won’t pay shipping – it’s on us!
All orders ship from our facility promptly, typically via USPS or UPS ground, and you’ll get a tracking number as soon as it ships.
How long will it take to get my order?
We know you’re excited to get started with ENML, so we work to ship orders out quickly. We usually process orders within 1-2 business days. After that, shipping transit time within the continental US is usually around 3-5 business days (depending on how far you are from our shipping location in Florida). So in total, you can expect your package in roughly a week or less after placing the order, in most cases.
If you’re on the West Coast or in a more remote area, shipping might take a couple days longer (5-7 business days). And if you’re closer to our base, it could be even faster. We’ll email you a tracking link when your order ships so you can follow its journey. If you ever have an urgent need or special request, reach out to our customer service – we’ll do our best to accommodate. But generally, delivery is pretty speedy, and of course the anticipation will be worth it once you have your ENML tablets in hand!
What is your return/refund policy if I’m not satisfied?
We really hope you love your ENML experience, but if for any reason you’re not satisfied, we’ve got you covered. Because our products are consumable hygiene items, we don’t accept physical returns of opened product (you wouldn’t want used toothpaste back, right?). However, we do stand by our quality and want to make things right. If you have an issue with your order or the product, just contact us at our support email (info@enml.com) within 30 days of purchase.
Our team will work with you on a solution – whether that’s a replacement, advice on how to use the product, or a refund. In many cases, we can offer a refund or store credit without requiring a return, especially if it’s your first time trying ENML. If the item is unopened and you changed your mind, we can process a return if you send it back to us in resalable condition. The bottom line is, your satisfaction is super important to us. We are a small business, so instead of a rigid return policy, we handle things personally to ensure you’re happy. Just reach out, and we’ll take care of you.
(For detailed terms, you can also refer to our official Refund Policy on the website, but the above is the gist – we aim to be fair and reasonable with every customer.)
Miscellaneous
Are ENML toothpaste tablets vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes! All ENML products are 100% vegan (no animal-derived ingredients at all) and cruelty-free. We never test on animals – only willing humans have tested our toothpaste tablets (and they’ve given rave reviews). Our commitment to being vegan and cruelty-free is part of our broader mission to create oral care that’s ethical and sustainable from start to finish. So you can brush with a clear conscience, knowing that no animals were harmed and no animal by-products are in your toothpaste.
Who is behind ENML and can I trust this brand?
ENML was founded by a team of experts – including dentists – who genuinely care about improving oral care. Our co-founder Dr. Jordan Harper is a licensed dentist (DMD) who helped formulate these tablets based on real science and dentistry best practices. We started ENML because we felt traditional oral care was “stuck in the past,” and we wanted something better for our own families and the planet. Every claim we make about our product is backed by research or ingredient science (for example, the efficacy of hydroxyapatite, the benefits of xylitol, etc.). We position ENML as a premium, trust-worthy brand: natural where possible, but also backed by evidence and testing to ensure it truly works. We’re transparent about what’s inside our products and why. If you’re curious, we publish articles on our site about topics like fluoride-free benefits, zero-waste oral care, and hydroxyapatite science – this educational approach is part of who we are.
When you choose ENML, you’re supporting a small business that prioritizes quality, honesty, and customer happiness. We’re always here to answer questions (see the Contact info above), and we love hearing feedback. In short, you can absolutely trust ENML to deliver what we promise: an easy, effective, and elevating oral care experience. Your smile is in good hands (and ingredients)!
