Small brush head and smooth edges We didn't like what was currently on the market due to a 'wood feel' in the mouth from the heads being too big. Our design has a smaller head to minimise this and the minimal handle design uses less material and energy to produce than others. Heat treated bamboo handle The handle is heat treated to increase its lifetime by providing water resistance. Replace the toothbrush every 2-3 months as recommended by dentists. BPA free Nylon-4 bristles We use high quality Nylon-4 bristles for our soft kids toothbrush. Rest assured that your little ones gums will be looked after. Each wood toothbrush has 99% less plastic than a traditional disposable. See our image or description for more info on disposal of the bristles. Aftercare Instructions Dry well After Use Care should be taken to dry your brush after use. Even though the bamboo handle has been heat-treated to provide extra water resistance, it is still a natural product so should be treated as such. Keep Ventilated Along the same lines, also store the brush in a well-ventiallted place. This will ensure your brush stays in tip-top condition until you come to change. Don't forget! You should replace your brush every 2-3 months or when the bristles get misshapen. If you experience this on a regular basis you should try to brush with a lower force. Check out our other products!
