You’re brushing your teeth with the same plastic used in carpets and fishing lines.
Every plastic toothbrush releases invisible toxins that enter your body through your most absorbent tissue. That's right! Those nylon bristles are shedding microplastics into your mouth twice a day—and your gums absorb every bit. 🧪🦷
A recent study assessed microplastic contamination in common oral care products finding all products tested were contaminated with microplastics. Toothbrushes had the highest levels releasing 30–120 particles into your mouth PER BRUSH!
There are alternatives and you owe it to yourself to spend a little more and stop letting microplastics into your body!
