The lifespan of a bamboo toothbrush is generally four to six months, just like a regular plastic toothbrush. We recommend replacing it once the bristles fray or after a few months of use to maintain proper oral hygiene.

You can choose what works best for you when it comes to toothpaste. However, we suggest natural alternatives like a simple homemade tooth powder made from equal parts of rock salt, turmeric powder, clove powder, or any trusted herbal tooth powder. Chemical-based toothpaste can disrupt your oral microbiome, which is key in maintaining healthy teeth and gums.

As for a brush cover, it’s completely optional. While covers are helpful during travel or when carrying your toothbrush in a bag to protect the bristles from dust and contaminants, they aren’t necessary for everyday home use.

To ensure your bamboo toothbrush stays fresh and lasts longer, always store it in a well-ventilated area where it can dry completely between uses. Avoid keeping it in closed or damp spaces, as moisture can lead to mould or bacterial growth.
