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.

Let's find out which vitamins for teeth are recommended for adults to drink.

One device cannot replace the entire complex of necessary devices. It is also necessary to undergo professional oral hygiene once every six months. Only the entire set of oral care procedures can ensure high-quality hygiene and health. Just if you have certain problems: allergies, increased sensitivity of enamel and gums, be sure to choose a paste based on the recommendations of your dentist,” says E.V. Orlova. dental therapist, periodontist and hygienist.
Flaws
The cons are subjective and are called differently by different people. The most common two are:
- Too simple design
. Buyers complain that the brush looks unpresentable and boring. However, others note with equal enthusiasm that the design is minimalistic and beautiful, that is, it’s all a matter of taste. - Excessive flexibility
. Some brush models have a very flexible handle, which gets on the nerves of some buyers. - Excessive lightness
. This is also a very controversial disadvantage, but it is called - it is too easy to hold in your hand, and it seems that it could break at any moment.
Indications for use
- Presence of teeth
. If the buyer has teeth and needs to be cleaned, a bamboo brush will be an excellent solution. It whitens teeth, strengthens enamel, helps get rid of tartar and improve blood circulation. It also doesn’t cause pain – there are enough advantages to make you want to choose it. - Prevention of inflammatory diseases
. Almost all dental diseases are inflammatory, so using a brush with this effect means not worrying about caries, gingivitis and similar diseases. - High sensitivity of enamel
. If your teeth are sensitive to hot, cold and the touch of a toothbrush, the bamboo option will be the best because it does not cause pain. - Bleeding gums
. It won’t cause extra blood, won’t cause pain, and will help prevent infections in wounds – a bamboo toothbrush is definitely a good solution. - Yellow plaque on teeth
. Charcoal spraying copes with it especially well, returning teeth to their natural white color. Helps even heavy smokers. - Bad breath
. Bamboo helps get rid of it once and for all, cleaning even the most difficult to reach places - Allergy to brushes and pastes
. Bamboo is hypoallergenic and does not require the thought that a rash may pop out or suffocation may occur. It can be used even without paste, which can additionally cause allergies.
There are no contraindications for use. Bamboo can be used for any illness (just change it regularly and do not offer it to other people), for hypersensitivity and even for allergies.
Application
The rules for using innovative devices are practically no different from the methods for using conventional analogues:
- The frequency of brushing your teeth should not be less than twice a day.
- If your teeth are sensitive, dentists recommend immersing the brush in hot water for five minutes to soften the bristles.
- Performing vertical movements, it is necessary to clean the outer side of the dentition, and then move on to the inner.
- Particular attention must be paid to the interdental space.
Despite manufacturers' statements about the possibility of using a bamboo product without toothpaste, dentists do not recommend doing this, since with a complex effect the result will be better.
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.
- 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. - 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.
- 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. - 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.
Kinds
There are several types of bamboo brushes on sale, differing in the type of spraying and designed to solve specific problems:
- Tourmaline coating on the device helps to improve the health of the oral cavity, reduce the number of bacteria and prevent their further reproduction. There is an opinion that such devices help restore the balance of ions in the human body.
- Gold plating helps reduce bleeding gums. Such brushes do a good job of eliminating pathogenic microorganisms, which are the main cause of inflammation and soreness of the gum tissue.
- Spraying of silver particles also has a beneficial effect on the gums, improving their trophism and reducing bleeding.
- Charcoal coating on the bristles effectively fights bacterial plaque and helps eliminate unpleasant odor from the mouth.
- Microscopic particles of jade help preserve the effect of fresh breath for a long time, by eliminating bacteria and preventing their further occurrence.

One of the latest dental developments, the Nano premium bamboo brush has black bristles thanks to carbon coating.
It acts in four directions:
- has an antibacterial effect, eliminating bacteria and preventing their reappearance;
- effectively eliminates plaque, reduces the number of pigmented areas of enamel;

Humble Brush
Swedish-made Humble Brush has a non-slip, ergonomic handle made from natural bamboo that quickly decomposes without harming the environment.
The bristles of this product are made of nylon, which does not contain polycarbonate mixtures harmful to human health.
The shape of the cleaning head is slightly different from its analogues. In its central part the bristles are slightly shorter than at the edges. This promotes more thorough cleansing of not only the tooth surface, but also the interdental spaces.
In addition to brushes for adults, the company's assortment includes brushes intended for children, which are distinguished by ultra-soft bristles.
Guanbo
The Guanbo nano device is equipped with charcoal-coated bamboo bristles. This coating helps eliminate soft and hard plaque, prevents the formation of caries, freshens breath and eliminates yellowness of the enamel.
In addition, special spraying produces an antibacterial effect, preventing the development of pathogenic microflora.
Double bristles of different lengths help remove plaque from the enamel and narrow spaces between teeth. The brush can be used with or without paste. The result will be no less high quality.
HozMa
HozMa brand toothbrushes have milled bristles coated with bamboo charcoal. This gives the villi an unusual black color and protects them from the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms.
Due to their small thickness and varying lengths, these hairs easily penetrate the interdental space, removing plaque from it and cleaning the gum line.
The device has a fairly simple but ergonomic handle, making it easy to hold while brushing your teeth.
Bamboobrush
Bamboobrush is produced to order in China and is a product whose handle and bristles are made of natural bamboo fiber.

Thai-made Twin Lotus products have a laconic and stylish design. The body is black and has purple inserts. The bristles are covered with bamboo charcoal, due to which it has an antibacterial effect.
The villi have different lengths and thicknesses. Shorter and denser ones remove plaque from the enamel, while thinner and longer ones clean the interdental spaces.

The environmentally friendly Kvelmi device is made entirely of bamboo. Its handle fits comfortably in your hand and does not slip out while brushing your teeth. Bamboo bristles are found in two types of hardness - soft bristles are light in color, medium bristles are dark in color.
Both types effectively cope with the removal of plaque without scratching the enamel or damaging the gum tissue.

White&Smile
The White&Smile device uses environmentally friendly bamboo fiber, which has an antibacterial effect, helps eliminate yellowness of the enamel and eliminates unpleasant odor from the mouth.
The product has medium-hard bristles, which can be made in four bright colors. Thin bristles penetrate into the interdental spaces, removing plaque from them, which prevents the development of inflammation and caries.
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.
nadi.ko: Bamboo toothbrush with charcoal coating, soft (Mini) Ecotoothbrush
Good day, dear ECOholics!
I have already accumulated a whole collection of bamboo brushes, so I have something to compare with! That's what I'm going to do with comparison.
The heroine of today's review is the soft Bamboobrush mini (far right)
Its bristles are soft, even , of the same thickness along the entire length, with a carbon coating.
Read about the properties of such spraying in the photo below.
The brush is in a cardboard box , which contains all the necessary information:
Two Bamboobrushes
Bamboobrush mini - a smaller version of this Bamboobrush with carbon coating, medium hardness
Bamboobrush mini much smaller in length and is suitable for children from 4 years old.
For an adult, this size of brush is not very convenient, since the handle is a bit short
But, for some reason, bamboo brushes with soft bristles are a priori for children.
I prefer soft brushes, so I have to put up with this length of handle
The bristles of the two Bamboobrushes are visually similar . The Bamboobrush mini brush head is smaller in size and therefore has fewer tufts of bristles. This does not affect its cleaning ability in any way, because the recommended size of the head with bristles is comparable to the width
2-3 adjacent teeth.
Two soft brushes (ages 4+)
Now I’ll compare it with another mini-brush - soft (Mini) Ecotoothbrush with carbon coating
It was the first bamboo brush I tested.
The length of the handles is the same, but the shape is slightly different.
We don’t pay attention to the yellowness of the Ecotoothbrush mini - I brushed my teeth with a homemade paste with turmeric
The main difference is the stubble . In both brushes it is soft and coated with carbon. But the Ecotoothbrush has thinner bristles at the ends and different lengths, which allows for more thorough cleaning between teeth, but may not be suitable for sensitive teeth and gums.
By the way, in this photo you can see how cleverly tooth powder gets stuck between the bristles, which is then difficult to get out of there
Why do I even choose bamboo brushes?
Honestly, I absolutely love their look. I generally adore wood, in all its forms.
Such love for wooden things always has two sides:
- On the one hand, it is an environmentally friendly material. Moreover, he is natural, incredibly beautiful, as if endowed with a soul.
- On the other hand, you may be indignant: “But what about the damage caused to the planet by deforestation?”
Yes, there is a problem and something needs to be done about it. In defense of the brush, I will provide information from the official website:
The handle is made of MOSO bamboo, an ecological wood, one of the fastest growing plants on Earth. Also one of the main reasons for using MOSO bamboo is that our friendly pandas don't like to eat it. Bamboo is grown for three to five years and then harvested. It regenerates naturally, with minimal rainfall and without the use of harmful pesticides. After harvesting, the bamboo is processed under high temperature by coking, which gives it quality processing, long service life, water resistance and prevention of microbial growth during use.
By the way, the site also has a recommendation for disposing of a used toothbrush:
An eco-friendly toothbrush can be disposed of safely by returning it to the soil, composting, or burying it in trash. Both bamboo and bristles decompose in the soil without contamination.
This is important to know!
Charcoal toothbrushes are not recommended for use with tooth powder , which is not stated anywhere.
I learned about this from the employees of the Dev online store.
After that, I wrote to the manufacturer to confirm the information:
A carbon-coated brush is aimed at whitening and has a higher degree of abrasiveness compared to a white classic brush.
Taking into account the above factors, it is recommended to use a carbon brush + tooth powder only for the purpose of intensive therapy for whitening tooth enamel (no more than 2 weeks and taking into account the absence of gum disease).
Thus, if you like to brush your teeth with tooth powders , then it is better to choose a white bamboo brush without carbon coating
My opinion:
The first time I brushed my teeth with this brush I was absolutely delighted.
It is very soft, pleasantly massages the tongue and gums, causing sensations close to tickling.
And if in the fall my favorite was the soft (Mini) Ecotoothbrush, now its honorable first place is taken by the even, more gentle bristles Bamboobrush mini
It does not injure the gums and cleanses well and delicately. The body is well polished, there are no nicks. Bamboobrush mini has a thicker handle and feels more comfortable in the hand than Ecotoothbrush mini
There were some downsides.
Bamboobrush brushes were created with the goal of becoming more accessible and budget-friendly.
Having used both of them, I can say for sure that the Bamboobrush is less durable. They are missing for more than 2 maximum 3 months.
In general, this is the norm for toothbrushes. Here's what they write on the website:
We tested whether using a bamboo toothbrush was possible for more than 8 months. But we ask you not to forget that dentists advise changing your toothbrush every two to three months and after illness
I was able to try almost the entire series of bamboo brushes, so I can compare them in terms of durability:
- Bamboo toothbrush (medium bristles) Environmental toothbrush - my husband used it for several months and not regularly. The brush is not in the best shape. But despite such shaggyness, all the bristles are in place (intact)
- Bamboo Toothbrush with Charcoal, Soft (Mini) Ecotoothbrush - my first brush and I used it for six months!
Not a single bristle came out! We don’t pay attention to the general condition of the brush - I use it to wash the soles of my sneakers
Here it is important to clarify what trick I resorted to: during periods of illness, I put aside the bamboo brush and took an ordinary cheap plastic one. After recovery, she returned to bamboo. This is not an environmentally friendly, but economical solution
- Bamboo toothbrush (charcoal, medium hardness) Bamboobrush - I had it for 2-3 months . So I had a lot of fear when one day she went bald while brushing her teeth! I was calmly brushing my teeth when I suddenly felt a clump of hair in my mouth. I will not describe in detail how violently and screaming I reacted to this. A whole bunch , breaking up into many, many individual bristles right in my mouth. It was a moral injury, gentlemen.
- Using Bamboobrush mini , I was already mentally prepared for such baldness. After 3 months
, two tufts of bristles
fell out of it , which I spat out calmly, without screams or hysterics.
In no way do I want to dissuade you from purchasing bamboo brushes! They are truly wonderful.
I just want to focus on the fact that Bamboobrush is budget and less durable . Their service life is hardly more than 3 months (or I came across such “delicate” specimens)
Have a nice day!
Useful tips
- 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). - 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Type of movement. There are two types of movement. The first is with rotary brushes: the bristles rotate in a circle. The second is with sonic brushes, where the bristles vibrate. Any will do. According to research results, the rotational type can clean plaque a little better, but so far there is not enough work on this topic.

Bamboo toothbrush is an environmentally friendly product
Let's use the example of the well-known brand Bamboobrush1 to look in detail at what toothbrushes are made of, which manufacturers position as bamboo:
- The base and handle are made from MOSO bamboo. This is the tallest bamboo in the world, whose “growth” in its homeland (in China and Japan) can reach a height of 27 meters, in Europe - 10 meters. Wood is actively used in various areas of everyday life and production: gardening, medicinal industry, construction, production of hygiene and decorative products. The wood is so smooth that it allows you to create toothbrushes with handles that won't hurt your fingers or leave burrs on them. In addition, products made from such material are completely biodegradable,
- Bristle: The bristle fibers are composed of an advanced biopolymer. Contains nylon (about 30%), bamboo and corn fibers. In addition, each bristle is coated with carbon coating on top. Due to the organic substances and compounds that make up nylon, the material also quickly decomposes and disappears after disposal within a few years.
Eco-brushes can be of two types.
Therefore, the slogan of brush manufacturers is simple: if you want to protect our planet from pollution and also take care of your health, then choose only a natural product! And if you like everything natural, then be sure to read our article about natural toothpastes from the ECO series.
