F.E.T.E Medium Bamboo Toothbrush Bright Blue

Why choose a bamboo toothbrush?

Bamboo is the worlds fastest naturally renewing resource which is also inherently anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial.

BPA-free, Partially Biodegradable Nylon bristles effectively clean.

You might even begin to feel a sense of relief knowing you are positively contributing to safeguarding and protecting the environment in which we all need to live.

“Soft” and comfortable in your hand, as well as in your mouth. You and your children may not want to put them down. Bamboo has a very nice natural energy about it – in contrast to common plastic brushes.

• Eco-friendly
• Sustainable
• Biodegradable
• Vegan

The packaging is completely biodegradable. The toothbrushes come wrapped in recyclable craft paper and a recycled cardboard box.

The toothbrush can be recycled but the bristles need to be pulled out and thrown away in your general waste. Once the bristles have been pulled out, the handle can be put in the compost and will return back in to the soil within 6 months.

You can also reuse the handle for creative purposes.

Learning how to brush your teeth properly is the first step to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Plus, it helps minimise the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, the major causes of tooth loss.

Before You Begin

While there are several methods of brushing teeth with a manual toothbrush, always ask your dental professional for their recommendation and be sure to follow their instructions. To start, use fluoride toothpaste with a soft-bristle toothbrush, and don’t forget to replace it every three months.

Two Minutes, Twice a Day

To brush your teeth correctly, spend at least two minutes using a recommended technique, which includes 30 seconds brushing each section of your mouth (upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left), both morning and night. Since most manual toothbrushes don’t have built-in two-minute timers, you may want to have a clock handy so you can be sure you’re brushing long enough.

Positioning the Toothbrush

How you hold the toothbrush depends on which part of the tooth you’re brushing.

• Step 1: Start with outer and inner surfaces, and brush at a 45-degree angle in short, half-tooth-wide strokes against the gum line. Make sure you reach your back teeth.
• Step 2: Move on to chewing surfaces. Hold the brush flat and brush back and forth along these surfaces.
• Step 3: Once you get to the inside surfaces of your front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and use gentle up-and-down strokes with the tip of brush.
• Step 4: Be sure to brush gently along the gum line.
• Step 5: Brush your tongue in a back-to-front sweeping motion to remove food particles and help remove odour-causing bacteria to freshen your breath.
• Step 6: Try gently brushing the roof of your mouth for an extra-fresh feeling.

Now that you’ve learned proper brushing technique, a little discipline in practicing it every day will help make it feel like second nature. It’s one of the easiest things you can do to maintain the health of your teeth and gums.
