Moderate Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

The mouth is one of the most absorptive areas of the body. Toothpaste, mouthwash, and dental products are in contact with oral mucosa for minutes daily. Fluoride, triclosan, artificial sweeteners, microbeads, and synthetic fragrances in conventional oral care products are absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

Why We Recommend This Product

Brush with Bamboo's bamboo toothbrushes are the most sustainable toothbrush option. The bamboo handle is compostable, and the plant-based bristles reduce synthetic plastic content. Americans throw away 1 billion plastic toothbrushes per year.
