Bamboo Toothbrush – Adults

What is it
Made from natural and biodegradable bamboo. Bamboo is a sustainable and natural alternative to plastic toothbrush handles, helping to reduce the amount of plastic used in oral care without compromising on the efficacy of the brush.
Dentist recommend replacing toothbrushes every four months, and as plastic toothbrushes cannot be recycled this adds up to 320 discarded plastic toothbrushes ending up in landfill throughout just one person’s lifetime.

Before You Begin
Two Minutes, Twice a Day
To brush your teeth correctly, spend at least two minutes using a recommended technique, which includes 30 seconds brushing each section of your mouth (upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left), both morning and night. Since most manual toothbrushes don’t have built-in two-minute timers, you may want to have a clock handy so you can be sure you’re brushing long enough.
Positioning the Toothbrush
How you hold the toothbrush depends on which part of the tooth you’re brushing.
Step 1: Start with outer and inner surfaces, and brush at a 45-degree angle in short, half-tooth-wide strokes against the gum line. Make sure you reach your back teeth.
Step 2: Move on to chewing surfaces. Hold the brush flat and brush back and forth along these surfaces.
Step 3: Once you get to the inside surfaces of your front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and use gentle up-and-down strokes with the tip of brush.
Step 4: Be sure to brush gently along the gum line.
Step 5: Brush your tongue in a back-to-front sweeping motion to remove food particles and help remove odour-causing bacteria to freshen your breath.
Step 6: Try gently brushing the roof of your mouth for an extra-fresh feeling.
