The vVardis Whitening Collection may be spenny at £157 for the set but it is also excellent, giving demonstrably whiter teeth after use. This is no Ross-from-friends level of brightness, but instead a lightening, brightening regime which will (unlike some others) improve teeth health, strengthens enamel and remineralises early signs of decay thanks to the patented WX formula. As effective on crowns and veneers as it is on natural teeth, this is Swiss-made, vegan, sustainable tooth-care at its finest.

Crunch the tablet and then use a wet brush to encourage the powder over teeth for a thorough clean.

Perhaps one of the most sustainable ways of flossing is to invest in a water flosser. Waterpik’s designs come highly recommended, thoroughly flushing out any lingering morsels and – unlike some options, suitable for use with braces and other orthodontic appliances. Is it shallow of us to admit that this mint green option would be our choice, purely for its shelf appeal?
