Reviews of Terradent Replaceable Head Toothbrush
Why throw away that much plastic every 3 months?
There are some product ideas that I look at for the first time and just get it -- it makes total sense to me, and I wonder why the product wasn't designed that way in the first place. The replaceable head toothbrush is one of those products. How silly is it that more than 75% of a toothbrush a) doesn't go in your mouth when you brush so b) it doesn't really wear out over time, yet c) when it's time to get a new toothbrush, we have to throw away the entire thing?
The Terradent changes that whole model by providing a toothbrush handle with a replaceable head. It's a lot like razors with replaceable blades. Disposable razors are unnecessary and environmentally damaging. I now feel the same way about traditional toothbrushes (although there are some toothbrushes that can be recycled now).
I've had my Terradent for over a year and I'm very happy with it. It works well, the head is easy to replace, and the head never gets dislodged accidentally. Although the packaging doesn't say one way or another, I've successfully put the handle in the dishwasher to clean it before inserting a new head. With just replacing the head, it's also affordable.
According to Eco-Dent's website, Terradent toothbrushes also "have the lowest bacteria count of any toothbrushes because of their unique replaceable head design." To be honest, I'm not clear on how that's possible, but I don't expect the brushes could be any worse than a regular toothbrush in terms of bacteria.

replace the head, save the handle
I love my toothbrush, because it comes with replaceable heads, much like a razor. These come in soft and medium bristles, comfortable to hold and use, does not come apart while brushing, and all around a great brush. I wish they were made from a renewable resource, and not plastic, but at least waste is reduced by reusing the handle. I've had mine for 2 years now. Locally I find the brush heads at Merz Apothecary.
