Ever Used Bamboo Toothbrush? Know Benefits, Do’s and Dont’s Before Using

Bamboo toothbrush is a safe and eco friendly option for brushing. Here are the benefits, dos and don’ts before using it.

It is sensible to question if a bamboo toothbrush will last as long as a plastic toothbrush and if it requires any extra care to stay in good condition. After all, most people are accustomed to cleaning their teeth in the morning, tossing their plastic brush into a cup or pot, and forgetting about it until later! The good news is that bamboo brushes are inherently hygienic and durable, so you won’t need to do anything special to keep them clean. This is one simple step you can do to assist the environment! However, there are a few things you can do to maintain your bamboo toothbrush clean, fresh, and in good working order. Onlymyhealth editorial team talked to Mr. Tanishq Gupta, Co-founder, Earthum, about the benefits, dos and don’ts of using a bamboo toothbrush.

Benefits of bamboo toothbrush

Popularly known with numerous benefits, a bamboo-based toothbrush helps in removing the unnecessary waste while providing the same quality of cleaning that a plastic brush gives. Here are the main benefits of using a bamboo toothbrush:

1. Oral hygiene

One of the major benefits of using a bamboo toothbrush is that it can help in keeping up your oral hygiene. Wood contains natural properties that play the role of an anti-microbial, thus they help in breaking and eliminating the bacteria.

2. Eco friendly

Using a bamboo toothbrush is an eco-friendly choice that you should make to keep your planet safe and sound. You can compost your bamboo toothbrush handle and it will degrade naturally. In fact, the handle can even be recycled or reused, anytime better than tossing a plastic toothbrush in the dustbin.

3. Safe and sustainable

Bamboo is a plant that grows naturally and is safe for using. The stems of this plant are cut and processed without the usage of any toxic elements. It can be grown/cultivated without harming the environment. The stems grow quickly and do not need any fertilizers and pesticides. On the other hand, plastic toothbrushes are made from non sustainable materials.

Dos and Don’ts of using a bamboo toothbrush

This is a widespread myth, but brushing your teeth properly DOES NOT need vigorous brushing, even if you’re using a manual toothbrush. Similar to this one, there are many other assumptions surrounding brushing, especially using an organic tool. Here are some important dos and don’ts of using a bamboo toothbrush:

Dos

• Brush for two minutes each morning and evening, ideally using a toothbrush with reasonably soft and flexible bristles that can work into gaps between teeth and gums
• Brush with mild pressure in circular motions away from the gum line, then back and forth across all surfaces in your mouth
• After you’ve finished brushing, properly rinse the handle and bristles under the tap to remove any toothpaste or residue
• If you’ve brushed hard enough that some bristles have bent, you can straighten them out with your fingertips
• When using a bamboo toothbrush the only difference is that you must let it dry after each use
• While bamboo has inherent antibacterial powers, it is not impervious to bacteria like plastic, but it will last just as long as your old plastic toothbrush if properly dried

Don’ts

• Brushing too hard or over-brushing your teeth can actually harm your gums and the top layer of enamel on your teeth, making them appear paler
• Stop brushing too forcefully and instead brush lightly but more carefully if you want shining pearly whites
• This will also assist the bristles to remain in good condition for a longer period of time
