Our soft bristle toothbrush is designed to be gentle on your teeth and gentle on the planet. You may not realize that in the USA alone 1 BILLION plastic toothbrushes are thrown away every year, creating over 50 million pounds of plastic waste. Dental professionals recommend soft-bristle toothbrushes because too much pressure or overzealous brushing can negatively impact the enamel and gums. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends soft-bristle toothbrushes with angled or multi-layer bristles to ensure an excellent clean without harming your teeth.

Charcoal toothbrushes have been found to have antibacterial properties.

In one 2018 studyTrusted Source involving 50 patients, individuals were instructed to brush their teeth with both charcoal and standard brushes for 1 week each. Researchers found that the charcoal toothbrushes had fewer bacteria on them than the regular toothbrushes did after 1 week of use, and that the non-charcoal toothbrush retained almost twice the amount of bacteria than the charcoal toothbrushes did.

If you want fresh breath, you’ll need a toothbrush that removes plaque.

One recent studyTrusted Source found that charcoal toothbrushes accomplished just that. Twenty-five people were instructed to brush their teeth twice daily after meals with both a nylon brush and a charcoal brush.

The charcoal bristles were found to remove more plaque than a regular toothbrush after 6 weeks of use. The charcoal bristles were also less worn than the regular toothbrush at the end of the study.
