How to build a healthier oral care routine

Explore expert-vetted essentials for cleaner teeth, fresher breath, and more →

From toothpaste and floss to mouthwash, your daily dental products play a huge role in not only your hygiene, but also your overall health. Unfortunately, many conventional oral care products are packed with artificial dyes, synthetic flavors, sulfates, and even preservatives like parabens or triclosan.[1]

At Grove, we believe that oral care shouldn’t be complicated. Whether you're in the market for some small swaps or trying to revamp your entire dental routine, we’ve got just the products for you — all free from unnecessary ingredients, and full of powerful actives to keep your smile clean and bright.

Brush up on your ingredients

Explore toothpaste that does more with less

When you use a product twice a day, every single day, it goes without saying that it should work well and feature ingredients you trust. We’re fans of toothpaste formulas that use enamel-friendly abrasives like silica to gently scrub away tartar, plus ingredients like fluoride or nano-hydroxyapatite to strengthen enamel and fight cavities.[2] And instead of artificial sweeteners or fake mint, many brands flavor their pastes with essential oils, herbs, and botanicals. Whether you prefer a paste, gel, or tablet format, Grove offers toothpaste options for whitening, sensitivity, and kid-friendly needs — all without synthetic dyes, flavors, or SLS (sodium laurel sulfate, a known skin irritant).

Time for an upgrade

Try an eco-friendly toothbrush

Plastic-heavy toothbrushes may be the norm at the store, but they’re far from the most sustainable option out there. Switching to a bamboo toothbrush, a post-consumer recycled plastic brush, or a brush with replaceable heads cuts down dramatically on plastic waste, all without compromising effectiveness.[3] Grove carries a whole array of sustainable brushes with dentist-approved soft bristles, ergonomic handles, kid-friendly designs, and low-waste packaging. It’s a simple swap that makes a big difference, especially when the whole household gets on board.

Don’t forget

Floss for your own health (and the planet’s)

If you find that your floss feels like squeaky, sharp plastic on your gums, that’s because… it is. However, there are tons of non-plastic floss options available at Grove, made from materials like biodegradable silk or corn fiber and coated with extra-soothing ingredients like coconut oil or plant waxes. Bonus: sustainable flosses are usually housed in refillable containers, making them a smart choice for both your oral health and the environment.[4]

For a strong finish

Get a mouthwash without the burn

Many popular mouthwashes use alcohol to kill bacteria, but they often leave your mouth feeling dry and irritated. That’s why we’re big proponents of alternative mouthwashes that skip the alcohol and use ingredients like aloe vera, plant-based oils, and xylitol to freshen breath and support a healthy oral microbiome. [5] Whether you’re looking for natural whitening, extra cavity protection, or just a refreshing post-brush boost, we’ve got a gentler wash to meet everyone’s needs.
