WHAT MAKES NFCO TOOTHPASTE UNIQUE?

Unlike many other types of toothpaste on the market, NFco Toothpaste is free from fluoride and other harsh chemicals. Made in Australia and containing 70% organic ingredients, the gel formula is designed for the whole family and contains 25% Xylitol – amongst the highest percentage available. Vegan, gluten free and cruelty free, the NFco Toothpaste tube and box are also 100% recyclable.

WHAT IS THE FLUORIDE CONTENT OF NFCO TOOTHPASTE?

NFco Toothpaste is 100% Fluoride Free. Fluoride only has its effect when applied to the teeth (i.e. when it's in the mouth). If fluoride is ingested, it doesn’t provide any protection against cavities. It does, however, accumulate in the teeth and bones. Too much ingested fluoride is called ‘fluorosis’. It can permanently stain teeth and worse, it’s a poison. We believe that if the teeth are effectively cleaned and diet is good there is little need for fluoride. The choice to use a fluoride toothpaste or not is entirely personal and should be done with as much information as possible.

HOW CAN I TAKE CARE OF MY NFCO TOOTHPASTE?

Your NFco toothpaste tube is sealed under the cap for hygiene. Remove the safety seal and then replace the flip‐top cap. During normal use, small amounts of crystallized toothpaste may build up on the mouth of the cap.

  • Using a clean damp cloth, remove all toothpaste residue from around the cap opening
  • Dry the cap with a clean, dry cloth
  • Close flip-­top lid and store tube upright (cap facing up)
  • Always store oral care products as far away from the toilet area as possible 

It's important to always keep your toothbrush clean, and sterilize the head regularly. When the toothbrush comes into contact with the opening of the toothpaste cap, bacteria etc. can be transferred to the tube.

HOW CAN I TAKE CARE OF MY NFCO BIO TOOTHBRUSH?

Follow these steps to ensure you get the most out of your NFco Bio Toothbrush:

  • Use minimum pressure and brush in a circular motion
  • Replace toothbrush every 6‐8 weeks or earlier if worn down
  • Replace after illness
  • Rinse thoroughly before and after use
  • Allow bristles to air dry by using the NFco stand to hold your toothbrush
  • Sterilize often 

It's important to always keep your toothbrush clean, and sterilize the head regularly. When the toothbrush comes into contact with the opening of the toothpaste cap, bacteria etc. can be transferred to the tube.

WHAT IS THE NFCO BIO TOOTHBRUSH MADE OF?

The NFco Bio Toothbrush is biodegradable along with its packaging. The handle is made from non-­GMO cornstarch with nylon bristles which are BPA free.

HOW DO I STERILIZE MY NFCO BIO TOOTHBRUSH?

Plaque, as well as the interior of the mouth, contains many microorganisms. Inevitably, these microorganisms become trapped between the bristles of your toothbrush. Because your toothbrush is often in a moist environment, bacterial growth can flourish. That's why it's imperative to keep your toothbrush clean and to sterilize it regularly. We recommend replacing toothbrushes every 6-­8 weeks and after illness.

To Sterilize:

  • Rinse bristles as outlined previously
  • Shake off excess water
  • Place toothbrush in bathroom cup, head down
  • Pour in enough hydrogen peroxide 3%* to cover head and bristles
  • Leave for 10 minutes
  • Rinse bristles under tap
  • Shake off excess water and store in wash cup as above
  • Sterilize once weekly

NOTE: The NFco Bio Toothbrush cannot be sterilised in boiling water or microwave.

*Hydrogen Peroxide 3% is widely available from pharmacies.

About Hydrogen Peroxide: Hydrogen Peroxide 3% has mild and safe antimicrobial properties. It quickly breaks down to water & oxygen. It can also work as a bleach, so care must be taken when handling. As with any product of this nature, open with care and make sure cap is pointing away from body. Hydrogen Peroxide is not to be ingested.
