Bamboo toothbrushes: description, pros and cons, prices

8250

Bamboo toothbrushes belong to the category of environmentally friendly products. They were created according to the patterns of the very first Chinese ones, which were just a bamboo stick split at the end.

Now, of course, they are somewhat more complex in design, but the basic idea remains the same, and, oddly enough, has borne fruit.

Advantages

1. Soft and fine bristles
   . For people with hypersensitive enamel, for whom any pressure causes discomfort, this product will be to their liking. Thanks to the increased softness and thinness of the bristles, they do not scratch the teeth and cope with their task as painlessly as possible.
2. Disinfection
   . Bamboo has natural disinfectant properties and is used in many medicines in China. Because of this, there is less chance of picking up an infection from a brush that is stored in non-sterile (and any home is such) conditions.
3. Hypoallergenic
   . In addition to the fact that the product itself does not cause allergies, it can be used without paste at all, which can relieve the suffering of a person allergic to it.
4. Massage
   . Any brush massages the gums, but this one does not cause bleeding.
5. Versatility of use
   . It can even be used for periodontal disease and other gum diseases, which usually make oral care not only undesirable, but also painful.
6. Flexibility
   . Thanks to the thinness of the bristles, they can penetrate into the most difficult to reach places and clean them too.
7. Environmental friendliness
   . Once it is no longer usable, it decomposes very quickly, without polluting the already polluted environment.
8. Various models
   . There are children's ones for kids who, due to their age, would simply be inconvenient to use the adult option. However, the mouth size of children is smaller, and sensitivity to mechanical stress is usually much stronger, so products intended for them are softer than other options.

   It also usually looks much more fun - the design, designed to entertain the child, depicts funny monsters or princesses.

The disadvantages mentioned above are the subjective opinion of some users and do not in any way affect the quality of teeth cleaning and the results obtained.

Review of the Nano Premium model

When asked in search engines, the first position given is Nanopremium, because it has practically no competitors, either in quality or price.

This brush is made with bamboo charcoal coating.

, causing the stubble to appear black, which may seem unusual. But the handle is made in the shape of a human hand to fit comfortably into it, and on the back side there is a tongue scraper, which must be used every time you brush your teeth, removing the unpleasant plaque that has formed there from it and from the inside of your cheeks.

The length is 19.2 centimeters and does not require special attention to handling. It is enough to rinse the bristles after use, and also store them in a cool, dry place and do not expose them to direct bright sun.

The most interesting thing about this brush is the action. It consists of four main directions.

1. Antibacterial
   . The properties of charcoal and the properties of bamboo have such an effect that it becomes more difficult for pathogenic bacteria to take root in the oral cavity. They die before the onset of the disease - thus preventing possible inflammation and reducing the likelihood of caries and similar diseases.
2. Whitening
   . Coal is the best material for this. It rids teeth of yellowish plaque, removes tartar and allows you to get rid of plaque on your teeth, while strengthening the enamel.

   After using it, teeth become whiter and generally healthier - even increased sensitivity is somewhat reduced.

3. Cleaning
   . Thanks to the thinness and softness of Nanopremium bristles, they reach the most difficult places to clean, cleaning the space between the teeth along with their easily accessible parts.
4. Scraper
   . Like the brush, it is made soft and comfortable - so that when cleaning the surface of the gums, even with increased sensitivity, a person does not feel any discomfort. It gets rid of plaque on the cheeks and tongue, also reducing the likelihood of inflammatory processes, and helps maintain fresh breath longer.

This brush is well suited for people with gingivitis, swollen gums, bleeding, increased sensitivity to mechanical stress, as well as an increased tendency to inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity.

The brush will help in the prevention of inflammatory diseases

Bamboo is famous for its antiseptic and disinfecting properties, so brushes made of this material cope with pathogenic bacteria living in the oral cavity. Accordingly, the risk of getting an inflammatory process, gingivitis or caries development becomes lower. But at the same time, in order to eliminate it completely, do not forget to undergo preventive examinations at the dentist several times a year.

Thanks to its antiseptic properties, the brush can be safely stored in the bathroom without a protective container, without fear of pathogenic microorganisms from the environment getting on it. In addition, the material does not absorb moisture, does not swell or mold, and holds its shape for a long time. It is enough to change the brush once every 2-3 months.

“Recently, my parents gave me a bamboo brush. Everything about it is good, but I think it won’t suit those who follow fashion. It has a very simple design and looks quite boring. But this is a matter of taste. I can also note that my carbon-coated brush quickly (after 2 months) lost the stiffness of the bristles, after which it generally acquired an unpresentable appearance: the bristles rolled up and became disheveled, looking like a piece of tangled wire or clumps of hair. Naturally, it’s not only impossible to brush your teeth with such a device, but it won’t work either. Another disadvantage is that... Since it’s made of wood, it doesn’t have time to dry after the procedures, so soon the bottom of the handle begins to darken, which also affects the external characteristics.”

How much does it cost?

Considering all its advantages, a bamboo toothbrush seems to cost at least a thousand. In fact, the cheapest one can be purchased at a cost of 200 rubles.

– without spraying and a tongue scraper, but with fine and soft bristles.

For 400 you can buy practically the best option - with a minimalist design, with a tongue scraper, with carbon coating, and easy to use.

The price also depends on where you order delivery from. Buy in a store, find it on the back shelf - delivery is free. But ordering from a manufacturing company, that is, from Korea, means paying more for delivery than for the brush itself.

Useful tips

1. You shouldn't use bamboo for too long.
   The bristles lose their rigidity, become frayed, look like a tangled piece of wire and can no longer cope with their task. Experts recommend changing every three months. But it is necessary to remember that during this time, pathogenic bacteria accumulate on the brush (no matter how antibacterial properties bamboo has, it is not omnipotent).
2. With carbon spraying they can last longer - up to eight months, since the antibacterial properties of coal are better. But you shouldn’t unnecessarily delay changing them either.
3. After suffering from infectious diseases (caries, stomatitis), it is worth changing the brush - pathogenic microbes may remain on the bamboo fibers. Moreover, you should not share your toothbrush - you can easily become infected with a whole bunch of other people’s diseases.
4. Despite the fact that you can use bamboo without toothpaste, it is better not to do this. The best effect is obtained by combining all possible remedies and you should use all options in order to keep your mouth clean and disease-free.

Storage and care

When using, it is worth remembering the duration of its operation:

• if there is a carbon coating, the devices can last up to 8 months; it is advisable to replace ordinary bamboo products after 3 months;
• past infectious diseases suggest its replacement after recovery, since pathogenic microorganisms could remain in the villi.

In order for the bamboo brush to serve for the required period, after completing the hygiene procedure, you must thoroughly rinse it with clean water and dry it.

Dentists do not recommend putting a product with wet bristles in a closed case, as this can lead to the appearance and proliferation of bacteria on its surface.

At the same time, it is undesirable to store such products in a place exposed to direct sunlight.

I recently ordered a bamboo brush with charcoal coating. I was fascinated that they write in the product description that you can brush your teeth and not change it for up to 8 months, but you write that you still need to change it once every 2-3 months. Where is the truth?

Vladimir (12/15/2018 at 6:06 pm) Reply to comment

Dear Vladimir. Dentists strongly recommend replacing any toothbrushes (or heads for them, if we are talking about electrical appliances) at least once every few months. Whatever antibacterial properties charcoal-coated bamboo has, do not forget - this is an organic product that has the ability to acquire its own microflora and is decomposed by the microbial environment. Therefore, if you do not want to face inflammatory processes and caries in your mouth, we still advise you to listen to the advice of doctors.

I recently had ARVI. During and after treatment I had to buy a new toothbrush, as the doctor advised. And my favorite bamboo one, which I have used only a few times before, is in a glass in the bathroom. I used it to brush my teeth for no more than a week before starting treatment. Is it possible to return to using it? I don't want to throw it away, because... almost new.

Lilu (12/27/2018 at 03:38 pm) Reply to comment

Dear Lilu! We do not recommend that you return to the toothbrush that was used before starting treatment. Alas, you will have to say goodbye to it forever, because the bacteria remaining on it can again activate the inflammatory process and then you will have to be treated again. Your doctor is right to insist that you get a new toothbrush.

I have been using bamboo toothbrushes for three years now, I really like them and they suit me well. Please tell me whether it is possible to use only bamboo ones. and not the usual ones? I tried switching to regular toothbrushes, but my gums started to hurt.

Tatyana (01/28/2019 at 01:21 pm) Reply to comment

Tatyana, if your dentist allows it and if the quality of hygiene is at a high level, then it’s possible. If not, then perhaps you should take a more serious approach to the choice of hygiene products.

I’ve been reading information about the benefits of a bamboo toothbrush for a long time and still can’t buy one for myself, but I really want it, I’m attracted by its naturalness. Why do bamboo brushes have such a short service life?

Marina (01/29/2019 at 05:17 pm) Reply to comment

Marina, like any others! Any brushes need to be changed every 2-3 months, because pathogenic microflora accumulates on the bristles, which can be dangerous for both teeth and gums.

Editorial staff of the portal UltraSmile.ru (02/01/2019 at 07:18) Reply to comment

A bamboo toothbrush has many more advantages than a regular one. Since this is an environmentally friendly product, I would like one for the whole family. Are there any children's? How old can you use the standard one?
