FAQ

We only use organic ingredients: no sulfates, parabens, allergens, dyes or any other harsh chemicals. 

Sorbitol: Brings sweetness to your brushing sessions

Calcium Carbonate: Kind to your teeth, but the natural enemy of plaque, food particles and stains

Yeast: One of the ingredients that make up the unique Smyle flavour

Hydroxyapatite: This mineral is the guard that protects and strengthens your enamel.

Acacia Senegal Gum extract: Helps with remineralisation, so important in keeping your teeth healthy and strong!

Sodium Coco Sulfate: Creates just the right amount of natural foam for great brushing results

Hydrated silica: If you like white, stainless teeth, this ingredient is your friend

Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil: All minty, all natural!

Sodium monofluorophosphate (fluoride): A versatile ingredient that helps remineralise and fights against cavities, weak spots, exposed roots and prevents early stages of tooth decay.

Magnesium stearate: Plant based, makes our tabs just solid enough for the perfect crush, brush, Smyle moment.

Limonene: Another secret (not so secret anymore now) ingredient that’s part of our flavour.

Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil: More mint, more pleasure!

Stevioside: All natural sweetness

Menthol: For that aftertaste and fresh breath we all love

Mentha Piperita Oil: Who doesn't like extra cooool peppermint flavour??

Linalool: Is known to fight off bacteria, but mainly provides a nice flavour.

We offer Fluoride and Fluoride free. Only currently our fluoride free tablets are out of stock. Please send an email to hello@wesmyle.com and we inform you as soon as Fluoride Free is back in stock.

A standard refill package contains 125 Toothpaste Tabs, enough for two months of brushing, twice a day.

Approximately 170 Toothpaste Tabs.

It is straightforward! First of all, store them somewhere air-tight, like in our bottle. When you need them: 

Crush the Toothpaste Tab between your teeth

Brush with a wet toothbrush

Smyle!

Repeat twice a day!

No. We are passionately against animal testing.

NO, our Toothpaste Tabs are not safe for pets! They contain xylitol, and xylitol is good for our teeth but extremely toxic to dogs. Please keep our Toothpaste Tabs away from our pet companions.

Most people use one Toothpaste Tab at a time. However, there might be some that want to use more Toothpaste Tabs when brushing their teeth. That is entirely safe to do. No problem

From Bamboo! Bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, and it naturally regrows after harvesting without the use of harsh chemicals or pesticides. It contains natural antibacterial, antifungal, and odour resistant properties, so bamboo is hygienic and biodegradable!

What about the pandas? We use Moso bamboo which grows up to 28 meters high, so the leaves are out of a panda’s reach. We love pandas! The bristles are BPA free, made from nylon 6. We try to replace the hairs with natural alternatives, but this is the best we can get so far.

On average, people that brush twice a day will use 1 toothpaste tube each month. With Smyle you will save 1 plastic tube from going to garbage ovens, landfills or oceans each month.

They are a real Dutch product, developed, designed, produced and packaged in The Netherlands.

Nothing to worry about. We added Vitamine C to our Toothpaste Tabs and this can - after a while in open air - cause some yellow stains. Our Toothpaste Tabs remain perfectly safe and secure though.

Yes, all national, EU and international regulations are followed. In addition, our Toothpaste Tabs are produced following GMP and ISO 22000 Certification criteria.

Toothpaste Tabs provide excellent dental care, just like the top of toothpaste companies provides. That is where the similarities end.
We do NOT use plastic tubes, micro-plastics, chemicals and allergens.

The Toothpaste Tabs might get softer, as they take on moisture from the air. This has further no effect, although when you leave everything constantly open, the shelf life will be less just like with regular toothpaste. Thus you better store them air-tight, preferably in our Smyle bottle. 

Dental tabs exist for some years now. But hardly anybody knows them. That is because most of them taste terrible, and they are costly and hard to find.
Our Toothpaste Tabs taste very good and offer excellent dental care for a sharp price.

You can buy them until now only via wesmyle.com. We will start experimenting with consumer sales via package-free retail shops as well. When we expand further in other sales channels, we will let you know.

Yes, they are. All ingredients are natural and completely harmless. However, we do not advise to provide Toothpaste Tabs to children under the age of 6. That is because children of that age or older have learned to handle small harder candy. Our Toothpaste Tabs disintegrate in contact with fluids.
Do you want to provide your children under six our Toothpaste Tabs, be sure to crush them upfront and then give them to your children as a powder.

Smyle has 2 variants, with and without fluoride. The variant with fluoride the advice is not to swallow. The variant without fluoride can be swallowed.

You only need to use 2 Toothpaste Tabs a day. So taking them with you on a trip is extremely travel-friendly.

We can announce with pride that all our products are fully cruelty-free and vegan. This means that Smyle products aren’t tested on animals and do not contain any ingredients that come from animals.

Now, this may seem counter-intuitive, but delivery by post is more sustainable than buying at your local store. 

When we started Smyle, one of the first things we thought about was shipping. Because here’s the thing: we have a product that is good for the environment and will help to reduce waste, but it can not do any good if we cannot get it to you! And, of course, getting anything anywhere requires energy and fuel.

In order to understand how our shipping was going to affect the environment, we did a little digging. According to this MIT study, in general, online shopping is more sustainable than buying from a brick and mortar store as long as is not rushed. Let us explain why that is and what we do to keep our carbon footprint under control. 

First of all, a brick and mortar store (aka, a physical store you can walk into with your body) does not have the luxury of knowing how much of any item it is actually going to sell. As a result, the store has to stay fully stocked, and that is accomplished by shipping items to nearby warehouses and then to the stores, usually by freight truck. Sometimes goods need to be moved from location to location depending on sales and sales projections. On the flip side, an online retailer (hi, there you have us!) freights only to one warehouse where it stays until it is actually ordered, cutting down on unnecessary travel and multiple facility energy overheads. 

Another factor to consider is the movement of the consumer (you!). In order to shop in a store, you need to get in your car and drive to that store. Of course, this is less of a factor if you live in a city and take public transportation or a bike, but we are generally speaking here. You driving to the store to pick up that tube has a carbon cost. With many people collectively driving their cars to individual stores, that carbon footprint adds up fast. 

There is also the issue of packaging. The carbon footprint of the shipping packaging needs to be more robust than when you are buying something in a store. To mitigate that, we use recyclable cardboard packaging — every piece of a Smyle package is 100% recyclable or compostable. We also make sure it is appropriately sized and lightweight while durable enough to protect our glass bottles: no plastic bubble wrap, no plastic tape, no unnecessary void fill is used for that. 

Finally, we want to talk about rush shipping —because this is where online shopping loses its advantage. With 2-day shipping options on the rise, the environmental impact of online shopping is going up and up. Because of this, we do not offer rush shipping. There is a good chance a postal worker is going to come by your mailbox every single business day, whether you have mail or not. This person is using an existing postal route that is followed no matter what. By using existing mail box postal services, your Brush Mints essentially hitch a ride along this slow and predetermined system (a la the “public transit” of delivery). This significantly cuts down the carbon footprint of your delivery, similar as to when you take a bus instead of a car. 

In contrast, when you select parcel delivery, a special trip is made to your house for your order which leads to a way higher carbon footprint. 

With a subscription, you will get your Smyle products automatically send to your home every 4 months. You will never run out! 

With the first order you will get two refill packages and one glass storage bottle. One refill package has enough Toothpaste Tabs to last for two months two times a day brushing.

For every delivery following, you will  get the two refill packages.

Yes, you can pause or stop your subscription at any time. Just go to the “my account” page and make these changes.

It is easy, you never run out of your toothpaste and you will get a discount of 25%. 

You do not have to pay any shipping costs.

And, you get a free glass storage bottle.

None. The delivery is free. Costless shipping. You pay nada. 

We hope you love our Smyle Brush Mints. However, if you are not happy, please mail us on hello@wesmyle.com within 14 days of receiving your Mints (or first subscription order), so we can help you out. 

Any refills or subscription shipments ordered after your first order are not eligible for a return, refund or cancellation after they are charged. Smyle bamboo toothbrushes are anyway not eligible for return. 

We are happy to accept returns on unopened Smyle Brush Mints within 14 days of postal delivery. Opened Brush Mint packages are not accepted. Please email at hello@wesmyle.com with the subject RETURN so we can help you out.

Unfortunately, we are unable to refund your original shipping charges, and we do not offer exchanges on any of our products. We will only accept new products. 

Return shipping is at the expense of the customer. The customer is free to choose whatever method of shipping is most economical. We only ask the name and order number to be included in the package. 

We will not provide a refund for a request that is received by Smyle more than 14 days after the date of original shipment. We also do not offer a refund for returned Products that are damaged due to misuse, lack of care, mishandling, accident, abuse or other abnormal use.

Bulk orders or orders over €100 are ineligible for return but subject to additional evaluation by the Smyle Team.

Yes of course, you can buy refill packages with 125 pieces of Toothpaste Tabs.

Yes, you can buy it in the shop here.

Let us compare. Other natural toothpaste in a 75 ml plastic tube that last one month with twice a day brushing – are often priced €7.50 or more. 

Our subscription costs €23.96 every four months. 

So you pay €5.99 a month for excellent dental care, that never runs out,  saves one plastic tube every month from ending up in our landfills or oceans with free home delivery and a cool free glass storage bottle.

This simply is not true. In the EU, an estimated 42% of plastic packaging waste was recycled in 2017. So this means that 60% is not recycled. All these plastic tubes end up in landfills, oceans or get burned, causing CO2 emissions.

BUT THIS DOES NOT EVEN APPLY TO PLASTIC TOOTHPASTE TUBES. 

Most conventional toothpaste tubes are made from sheets of plastic laminate sandwiched around a thin layer of aluminum. The mix of different plastics and metal makes them impossible to recycle. So recycling is not happening. They either get burned or, most likely, end up in landfills and in our oceans.

Outside the European Union, the situation is even worse.

No problem, you can also go for the single refill packages. And if you want us to, we will remind you on time when to reorder if you leave your email address.

You remove plaque better with an electric toothbrush, which keeps your gums healthier. An electric toothbrush is made so that you can position it properly on your teeth to brush properly. Also, the right brushing motion is already programmed into it. Another advantage of an electric toothbrush is that it has a small head. A small head makes it easier to reach hard-to-reach areas, such as the back of your back teeth.

You can simply brush with an electric toothbrush even if you have sensitive teeth or gums. For this, you can use the special modes on the toothbrush 'Gentle' and 'Sensitive'.

For the best personal advice, we recommend asking your own dentist.

Yes, this is no problem at all. Electric brushing proves to be safe and effective. Sometimes even more effective than brushing with an ordinary toothbrush. You don't have to worry about brushing the clasps off your teeth.

Rinse the brush head with clean water after each use to remove toothpaste residue and germs. It is important to use cold water, as hot water can damage the bristles. Afterwards, it is important to let the toothbrush dry upright. This is because bacteria love damp spots.

We recommend replacing the brush head every 2 months, just like a regular manual toothbrush.

This comes down to you brushing your teeth twice a day for 100 to 120 days

Of course, this depends on how often and for how long you brush your teeth, but on average the electric toothbrush only needs to be charged 3 to 4 times a year. You can use the USB charging station supplied.

The battery likes to be on the charger for 10 hours to be ready to clean your teeth again.

The Smyle Sonic Electric Toothbrush has 5 modes. Namely; Cleaning, Whitening, Polishing, Gentle and Sensitive. All these modes use the Sonic brushing technology. Having 38.000 brushing vibrations per minute.

By simply pressing the button one after the other - it's child's play!

The Electric Toothbrush is made of recyclable PC material. The Electric Toothbrush is one piece and comes with the USB charging station and 1 attachment.

It is a lithium type battery. Read more about this in our manual

Good news, you can! As long as you make sure you dry the toothbrush thoroughly after use.

Our electric toothbrushes are made by our partner in China.

The brush heads are specially designed, made from a combination of bamboo and cornstarch. The best thing is, they are biodegradable. The bristles are made from castor bean oil, coming from the castor tree.

Yes, similar as you are used to with our bamboo toothbrushes, you can also recycle the brush heads. All you need to do is cut the bristles off the brush head.

Firmly press the brush head on the Electric Toothbrush, but with love.

To ensure that you use as little plastic as possible, we have designed a special brush head for the Smyle Sonic Electric Toothbrush. Therefore, it is not possible to use other brush heads with our electric toothbrush.

Unfortunately not yet, we are working hard to offer these as soon as possible!

The brush heads are made by our partner in China.

Now choose a Smyle Super Sonic Electric Toothbrush, with a subscription. This means you get 2 new Bamboo brush heads sent home every 4 months, 1 new brush head every 2 months. Almost the same as the Toothpaste Tab subscription!

Certainly!

The direct debit goes every 4 months and is the total amount of the toothpaste tabs and the brush heads.

You can cancel the subscription at any time by sending us an email to hello@wesmyle.com.

If you have taken out the subscription, you get a lifetime guarantee. Should the electric toothbrush suddenly stop working properly, send us an email at hello@wesmyle.com. We will come to a solution together. For example, this only applies if the battery suddenly stops working (properly), not if the electric toothbrush has been dropped.

When you brush with the Sonic Toothbrush for the first time, it can take some getting used to. Just like brushing with Toothpaste Tabs. This is why Smyle offers that you can try for 60 days. If you are then not satisfied, please send us an email to hello@wesmyle.com.

The warranty only covers problems concerning the battery. We do not refund toothbrushes that have been damaged, because they have been dropped, for example.

Yes, you can do this at www.wesmyle.com/shop

If you bought the electric toothbrush without a subscription, you get a 2-year warranty.

Of course you can! This can be done via our webshop www.wesmyle.com/shop
