Brushing your teeth is good, toothbrushes are mostly good. They keep your teeth healthy and clean and your breath fresh. They are also almost always made entirely of plastic. Plastic that does not get recycled, never breaks down in landfills/beaches/waterways and leaches chemicals in your mouth. Baboo makes a better toothbrush with a sustainable, organic bamboo handle that biodegrades within 2.5 years and is cruelty-free & vegan. Bamboo is naturally antimicrobial and anti-fungal, lightweight, grows quickly, and is harvested not cut down, making it perfect for many plastic alternative uses. This Baboo bamboo toothbrush set comes with one regular, BPA-free nylon bristle brush and one with activated charcoal powder that naturally absorbs and removes stains to whiten while you brush.
Those of you in England you should try Bamwoo Bamboo Toothbrushes for a similar option that also plants a tree through One Tree Planted with each purchase.
