RADIUS DENTAL PRODUCTS

Bio-Based Toothbrushes and Floss

Dentists recommend replacing a toothbrush every 3 months. That might keep brushing up to snuff, but it amounts to a mountain of waste—an estimated 1.2 billion toothbrushes discarded annually in the United States.

Radius offers snazzy oral solutions for greener brushing. Known for innovative design, Radius created a new generation of toothbrushes in the early 1980s using a wide oval head with thinner bristles in a high tuft count that distributes brushing pressure and protectively massages sensitive gum tissue. The wide handle of the Radius Original Toothbrush is made from renewable bioplastic cellulose with an ergonomic thumbprint impression for right- and left-hand orientation. Available in six nifty colors, it is approved by the American Dental Association. Radius Source Toothbrush, made from 93 percent recycled material and 47 percent renewable resources, is the next era of eco-friendly oral care. The standard-size wooden handle, molded from recycled wood and bioplastic, will last for years. It can be fitted with replacement heads available in soft and medium bristles, which reduces environmental impacts because only 7 percent of the toothbrush is discarded as compared to 100 percent of ordinary toothbrushes.

Eco-friendly flossing just got better with the good-for-you glide of Natural Silk Floss, by Radius. Unlike the traditional petroleum-based, paraffin-coated nylon dental floss, this floss is made from pure silk spun in natural beeswax to remove plaque softly and effectively.

Radius products are made in the USA with dedication to durability, design, and environmental responsibility.
