whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's wrong with regular plastic toothbrushes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlastic toothbrushes use nylon bristles made from petroleum. Every time you brush, microscopic plastic particles break off and enter your mouth. Research is increasingly showing that microplastics accumulate in human tissue over time — toothbrushes are one of the most direct daily sources of this exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat about bamboo toothbrushes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost bamboo toothbrushes still use nylon bristles — the same plastic bristles as conventional brushes. The bamboo handle reduces landfill plastic but doesn't address the microplastic-in-your-mouth issue. Only a toothbrush with truly natural bristles eliminates that source entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow are the bristles sterilized?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough a strict multi-stage process: boiling and steaming at 100°C for 6 hours, high-pressure steam at 120°C, hydrogen peroxide treatment, and high-temperature drying. No bleach or industrial chemicals are ever used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these suitable for children?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, for ages 6 and up. The horse bristle version is the softer option, making it particularly suitable for younger or more sensitive users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does each brush last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2–4 months per brush, consistent with dentist recommendations for toothbrush replacement. Each 4-pack provides approximately 8–12 months of brushing for one person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the bamboo handle get mouldy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's specifically designed not to. The steam carbonization process at up to 300°C eliminates mould spores and removes the internal sugars that attract mould and insects, making the handle highly water-resistant. The self-standing design also promotes air drying between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow are the bristles sourced?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEthically sourced as a byproduct of existing food industries — repurposing material that would otherwise be wasted.
