Sewak Al-Falah: Miswak (Traditional Natural Toothbrush) (10 Pack) by Sewak Al-Falah

I will never buy a toothbrush again. No plastic. Cheap as hell. Lasts a good amount of time. Lots of tooth-healthy components inside. You don't even need anything to use it, just your teeth to peel the bark and saliva and chewing to make the bristles flexible.Extremely ADHD-friendly. If you have trouble brushing your teeth normally, just keep this in your pocket or by your desk or wherever. It is a low-barrier, accessible tool to teeth cleaning.They should really give this to people starting from childhood and just skip all the stupid toothbrush crap. This one-dollar ($1) stick they chopped off a tree has already done more for me than a dentist-recommended $100 motorized rechargeable head-swapping piece of crap and a bunch of useless sugar-filled mouthwash given to me on prescription.If I had these growing up, I wouldn't have fillings today.The only thing I'd add to this for an oral hygiene routine is a tongue-scraper since this isn't really used for the tongue. Both are cheap, durable, and simple.If you hate overcomplicated corporate bs and getting looped into systems you never agreed to, this will likely be a very welcome addition to your life.And be wary of the fact that western markets are catching onto this product, and making weird expensive derivative products. I've already seen a $35 dollar toothbrush handle with "recharge packs" of tiny chunks of miswak sticks you load individually into it. It's bullcrap. Take the leap and go straight for the chewing stick. You will not miss anything you left behind.Good for people who hate the plastic industry: Yes! It's better than one-use brushes preloaded with toothpaste. It's better than average toothbrushes with plastic handles. It's better than electric and head-swapping brushes. It's better than brushes with natural handles (eg wood), since those still have nylon (plastic) bristles. This is literally just a stick. The only plastic is the packaging.Good for penny-savers: Yes! The cost/benefit ratio is very good and the initial cost is extremely low. I bought 10 and after giving a bunch away to friends and family, I still have plenty.Good for the health-conscious: Yes! It's shown to work as good as or better than standard western tooth hygiene routines, due to many naturally-occurring substances in the tree which promote tooth health, such as fluoride and calcium and anti-bacterial components, as well as the gentle abrasive action of the bristles, which clean teeth and promotes good gum health as well. I was even able to use mine to do some at-home de-scaling which I could not do with a modern toothbrush, although I don't think this is something a dentist would recommend trying. Also, the tooth-promoting compounds mix with your saliva, so you can swish your own saliva around your teeth (and/or use your tongue) without needing mouthwash.For those worried about flouride: Yes, you can eat flouride. Yes, it's technically "toxic", but the "toxicity" here means that if you guzzle down an entire tube of toothpaste, you will get a tummyache. It's not food. That's all it means. There is not enough flouride in the miswak to cause any problems. Flouride is a mineral that teeth use to repair themselves, like calcium. Remember, regular table salt is more dangerous than flouride, and you can freely eat that too. Your body will let you know if it's had enough. This will not happen when using chewing sticks for tooth health.No "the government" (which agency anyway? also miswak is not from the USA.) does not use flouride to control people. You are already controlled just fine using social media sites, exploitative marketing design, and unethical journalism. Being ungovernable does not involve collecting cavities. On the contrary, the better your health is, the more powerful you are against exploitation.So yes, the flouride content naturally occurring in miswak is both fine, and also actually really beneficial and interesting. I never thought of a tree as being a mineral source before, but it makes sense.Dispose of your final disposable toothbrush once and for all. It was as easy as chewing on a stick this whole time!

When I started using these, I decided not to read the instructions on the package because it was so small and I had the beginning of a headache so I just opened one of the “brushes”, peeled a little bit of an end off and started rubbing the hard bristles gently against my teeth then I remembered I could read the instructions on Amazon so I came here and started reading the reviews. Well, you’re supposed to soak it, etc. to soften the bristles, which I didn’t. I just used it out of the package which worked fine. The smell was a little weird, but it wasn’t offputting or a “chemical“ smell. When I was done, my teeth felt so clean. I kept rubbing my tongue over them because they were so smooth and clean I think between using this and oil pulling, your teeth would be perfectly fine and beautifully clean and white without your usual toothbrush and toothpaste. I’m really disappointed in the one star reviews that people left without really giving it a chance.

I cant believe it but these actually work. I love all natural products and this one is very convenient as well. I keep one in my car and 1 at work. They are inexpensive and last a long time. Sometimes little pieces break off and can be annoying. They do have a slight taste that is hard to describe. My teeth feel healthier and look whiter after using these.

Good quality siwaks, easy to use as well. However they are not the same thickness, some of them are too thick. Which isn't a problem just worth mentioning.

I used my first one today.. I didnt soak it but just biting on it loosened the "bristles ". My teeth are so smooth feeling... the ghost babies will probably just slide right off (if ya know what I mean 😉)... They taste kind of funny (kind of like chewing on a tree stick) but it wasnt anything I couldn't get past. My teeth feel cleaner using a stick vs using expensive toothbrush and paste!!! Would 100% recommend!!!!!

I've been using this toothbrush for a few weeks now, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The bristles are soft yet effective, providing a gentle clean that leaves my teeth feeling fresh and polished. The ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to hold, and the design is sleek and modern. I've noticed a significant improvement in my oral hygiene since switching to this toothbrush. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality toothbrush that delivers excellent results!

The taste and smell is very chemical. Had to rinse and soak in water. Overall it does what it says.

The smell and taste is pretty unpleasant but it works really well. I noticed instant whitening and my teeth/gums feel very clean. Make sure to soak it well before brushing.
