What is the best toothbrush?
The best toothbrush is the one that you are regularly using, of course, but also the one in adequation with your teeth and gums.
Using a toothbrush with the proper bristles' resistance (soft, medium or hard) helps ensure good oral hygiene and avoid gum diseases like gingivitis.
Since a toothbrush should be replaced every three months, a good toothbrush should have a biodegradable handle to keep your teeth and planet clean.

Why are plastic toothbrushes bad?
Toothbrushes are an essential item for dental hygiene.
Dentists recommend using them at least twice a day and changing them every three months. As a result, it is estimated that 3.6 billion plastic toothbrushes are used every year. Unfortunately, plastic toothbrushes are poorly recycled and end up in landfills or the ocean. There, your toothbrushes will rest for centuries before breaking down into microplastic.
Something we should change every 3 months should be made from a compostable or recyclable material instead of plastic. The good news is that there are eco-friendly toothbrushes you can use instead of plastic.
Wooden toothbrushes are a good alternative
One of the most popular alternatives is bamboo toothbrushes.
The bamboo handle is solid and mould-resistant, making it perfect for a bathroom environment. The handle is compostable in a backyard compost. The bristles, however, are made of nylon and must be recycled according to local recycling programs.
Do the bristles fall out?
No, bristles do not fall out. However, it is recommended to keep the bamboo toothbrush dry, away from moisture.
How often should you change your toothbrush?
It would be best to change your toothbrush every three to four months. Your eco-friendly bamboo toothbrush lasts the same time as a regular plastic toothbrush. Still, you can extend its life with proper care. For more information on how to care for your toothbrush, check out the digital user manual.
What do we do with the toothbrush when we no longer need it?
No harmful chemicals are used to make the toothbrush, meaning you can recycle the bristles and compost the handle. Or you can find a new purpose for it, for example, a cleaning tool, paintbrush, and more.
To remove the bristles, use pliers or a similar tool and dispose of them in the plastic recycling bin.
