Our toothbrushes and toothpastes are the only ones designed by Australian dentists for Australian consumers and in accordance with Australian health guidelines.
But the best reason to buy them is that all of the proceeds will stay in Australia to fund our programs for vulnerable and at-risk groups.
As a not-for-profit and registered charity, all funds generated go back to our oral health and education programs for:
- young people aged 2 to 18 – our FREE My School Dentist Program

Yes, the bristles are the same as our full-sized adult brush – soft. The child’s toothbrush has a smaller head which may suit some adults and a groovy suction cup on the end so you can stand it up on your bathroom sink!
The recommended amount of fluoride for adult toothpaste in Australia is 1000ppm – 1500ppm. Our adult toothpaste contains 1450ppm and is recommended for everyone over 6 years of age.
The recommended amount of fluoride in toothpaste for children aged 2 to 6 is 500 – 550 ppm. Our children’s toothpaste contains 500ppm.
It is a big undertaking for a not-for-profit to enter a market dominated by big multinational producers, so we are taking it one step at a time.
If our new range is successful, we will consider what other products we could make.
No, our products are free from both alcohol and animal ingredients.
Our entire toothbrush is recyclable as well as the packaging.
Our Foundation is a registered participant of Terracycle. You can dispose of toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes at our head office – 175 Ward St, North Adelaide SA 5006. Alternatively, you can find a local drop-off point for used dental products here.
