Choosing a bamboo toothbrush over a plastic toothbrush is a great eco friendly option for your bathroom. Bamboo is one of the most renewable and eco friendly resources on the planet and requires far less processing than plastic toothbrushes, which always end up in landfill. The Australian Dental Association recommends you replace your toothbrush every 3 months, so why not swap to a biodegradable bamboo toothbrush. Before adding it to your compost or burying it in your garden, either pull out the nylon bristles with a pair of pliers or snap the head off. An adult bamboo toothbrush is the same size as a plastic one and has the benefit of being better for the environment.
If you don’t like the feel of the bamboo handle and brush head in your mouth, Jack n Jill and NFCo make a biodegradable toothbrush out of bioplastic. They are a plant based plastic that will completely break down. If you’re looking for a baby toothbrush and you’re not keen on bamboo, these are the most popular choice in store.
What is the main difference between a bamboo toothbrush and a plastic toothbrush?
It’s simply the handle. There is no difference in brushing your teeth with a bamboo toothbrush as it still uses nylon bristles, so making a switch isn’t going to affect the performance of your dental regime. They will still remove plaque and clean your teeth like a plastic toothbrush. They have a 3 month life like any toothbrush.
