Reviews mention

  • Eco-friendly glass packaging excellence
  • Travel-ready, compact tablet format

  • Mild mint flavor dissatisfaction
  • Gritty, chalky tablet texture
  • Inconsistent tablet dissolution performance
  • Fragile, shredding dental floss

Bite earns mixed reviews: the toothpaste bits clean effectively for many—some report cavity-free checkups and fresher-feeling mouths—yet others say they lack foam, feel gritty or chalky, and don’t deliver a thorough clean. Reviews praise Bite’s travel-ready, low-waste packaging and hydroxyapatite or fluoride options, while calling out weak mint flavor, tablet crumbling, floss that breaks, deodorant with short longevity, and mouthwash tabs that degrade in humidity.

  • They get the job done. I only have the original charcoal toothpaste bits, but I've loyally used them for a few years now. It's nice knowing I haven't thrown out a plastic toothpaste tube in years, and I really like the charcoal mint clean.

    Feedback

    Honestly, not much differentiation. Feels like Quip could strut in, copy the product, and that would be that.

  • I tried the whitening gel, which is the ideal format for anybody with aligners as you can wear the gel inside the aligners as long as you like. However, the % of carbamide peroxide seems too low to be effective on me and I found other brands to be more effective, especially when they had a combination of hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. Great format and idea though.

  • Couldn't quite get into Bite. I wanted to love the toothpaste bits but the crunching experience is just not for me. My bamboo toothbrush kept getting mildewy as well :( Love the company's mission and really wish I liked it more!

  • I've been using Bite toothpaste tabs for over a year and I love them! They taste great and work just as well as normal toothpaste.

  • I tried their toothpaste tablets and surprisingly liked them. There was some lather when brushing so it felt satisfying, and it has a neutral mint taste. It was especially nice to bring this with me while traveling to cut down on non-solids in my luggage.

  • Love this brand and it’s mission. I’ve using their paste bits and deodorant. The fact that it automatically sends me refills is even better. I also like that they tell you what’s in the fragrance unlike other brands that just put fragrance in the ingredient list.

  • I adore bite for traveling, I usually make sure I restock before any trips as they make packing much easier and there's no fussing with those tiny toothpaste tubes. It takes some getting used to once you make the switch to the tablets, as they do not foam and froth like a standard toothpaste, and when you spit, it's usually a slightly off-putting off-white color. I am fine with this since this is a natural product with no dyes, but it is a jump from the normal squeaky clean feeling of your crests and colgates. This applies to both the mouthwash and toothpaste.

    Feedback

    The mouthwash tabs seem to deteriorate quickly in the container and leave a powdery dust, not sure what causes that but they look odd in the container over time.

  • I love it! I thought I might hate the feeling of chewing the bit down, but I don’t mind it actually and I’m very happy to be cutting down on waste with the glass bottle and metal top. I’m especially impressed with their use of hydroxyapatite. That’s the only active ingredient I want to use after learning about it. Sometimes what’s best/most effective for my health and what is sustainable two things don’t mix, so I was really glad to find a company who could do both.

    Feedback

    They definitely should advertise the hydroxyapatite more! It’s not super evident initially.

  • Okay I hated the toothpaste bites. Didn’t do anything or foam or make my teeth feel clean. However the customer service was great! They refunded the money and I tossed it. I would consider purchasing something else because they stand behind their products.

  • I have been using the toothpaste bits for at least two years and I love them. I hate having to go back and use regular toothpaste if I forget to pack them when traveling. They are easy to use and do not leave a residue or bad chemical mint taste in your mouth post brushing. I got my mom hooked on them too! Best birthday present ever from the best daughter!! I have also had excellent dental checkups while using and my dentist is impressed with my oral hygiene while using this product. Four stars since the floss is actually terrible :( Broke in my teeth and not great. The whitening kit was fine, but I felt sensitivity in my gums while using it, so I did not continue. Plus, the whitening bottle leaks very easily, so store it upright! Although once done with the floss and whitening container, they were great to wash and store my bits for travel! The little metal one was in the crossfire of the spilled whitening solution and it rusted out immediately so I think a glass travel vial is the way to go~

  • I tried these and thought they were overall okay, the fact that they are eco-friendly and a good regular toothpaste alternative. It may take some time to get used to but it was inexpensive and makes for easy travel planning.

  • I ran out of toothpaste and when looking for a replacement I wanted to go with a more eco-friendly option. Toms was my previous brand and I like their product but I was looking for a less wasteful one. I found Bite and I ordered both their toothpaste and their deodorant. It was an easy site to navigate and the ordering and shipping processes were both fast and simple.

    Feedback

    The toothpaste tabs work great, I got the fluoride mint flavor and enjoy the taste and the experience is easy. The deodorant smells nice too and my only qualm is that you have to battle with pushing it up to get the product out and then when you apply it it gets pushed back down into the container again.

  • Our favorite toothpaste bits! We’ve tried several others but none compare to bite! They foam! They taste great! They keep our teeth clean! Their deodorant is also lovely. The subscriptions are super easy to manage and all the packaging is compostable. We love bite!

  • Love the concept and branding, but it's very different than standard toothpaste. Would still highly recommend!

  • I do my best to cut down on single-use plastic, and personal care is a serious waste-generator. I don't love tossing those tubes of toothpaste - what's most important though is that I find an alternative that is as effective. I think Bite is very close. I primarily use Bite but do go back and forth because sometimes it just doesn't feel like I get as clean as I want to, or fresh. Overall, though, the packaging, branding and mission is on point and I love how they continue to develop new products and improve existing ones. I'd bet on Bite long-term to be a major challenger in the oral care world and I'm happy to be along for the ride.

  • I've only ever tried the toothpaste tablets & generally really like them (for toothpaste tablets...). Great solution for reducing waste while traveling vs. buying mini toothpaste tubes!

  • I love the toothpaste bites! They leave my teeth feeling incredibly clean and fresh. I do wish I had gotten the one with a whitening agent, but it's still the best teeth cleaner I have ever used. The toothbrush itself is gentle on the teeth and feels pleasant to hold. Plus, there's the added benefit of feeling good about using wood instead of plastic!

  • My fiancé and I are obsessed with the tooth tabs! Honestly I have a pickiest partner when it comes to new products but this he won’t let me replace, and I don’t want to!!

  • I tried the tooth whitening gel, honestly I appreciate the sustainability but I just don't think that applying whitener on my teeth for a minute or two is going to do anything without some sort of strip or way of holding it on for longer. I dreaded each time I needed to do it, and saw no results.

    Feedback

    Some sort of a biodegradable applicator that holds the paste to your teeth maybe. I know thats a completely different product though so probably pointless feedback.
