How do I dispose of a bamboo toothbrush?
Remove the bristles with pliers and bin them, then compost the bamboo handle. The bristles are nylon and are not compostable.
What is oil pulling?
Swishing oil around the mouth for several minutes before spitting it out — a traditional practice. It is not a replacement for brushing and flossing.
Which bristle firmness should I use?
Soft or medium suits most people. Ask your dentist if you are unsure, particularly if you have receding gums or sensitivity.
Is the floss vegan?
Yes. It uses candelilla plant wax rather than beeswax, and is not silk.
