The bamboo parts of the brush heads are specially designed in a combination of bamboo and corn starch and are 100% biodegradable. Our bristles – bristles – are made from fibers from the castor tree and nylon and they are free from BPA and fossil oil. Unfortunately, due to the nylon, the bristles are not 100% compostable. However, at the moment this is the best available option on the market. The only alternative is to use pig bristles, but we love animals, so we don't think that is a good alternative. There is also a very small piece of plastic inside the brush head to properly absorb and guide the vibrations of the brush. No alternative has yet been found for this. Every type of bamboo brush head has this. Our bamboo brush heads currently contain 88% less plastic than regular brush heads. Of course, we will always continue to look for even better alternatives. Have you come across an alternative somewhere that you suspect could be better? Please email this to hello@wesmyle.com . Then we go check this out!

FLOSS: THE WEAPON AGAINST TOOTH DECAY Tooth decay is a common problem that can have significant consequences for our (oral) health. Using dental floss as a 'weapon' you can prevent tooth decay by effectively removing plaque and food particles between the teeth that the toothbrush itself has difficulty reaching. We will explain to you why the role of the dental floss is so important and how it works exactly. Tooth decay: a common problem Tooth decay is a common problem that can have significant consequences for both oral and general health. Tooth decay occurs when the outer layer of a tooth, the enamel, and the underlying dentin are damaged due to an acid attack. This acid attack occurs after, for example, you have eaten or drunk something with sugar. These sugars are converted into acids, which over time form a cavity or hole in the tooth. Tooth decay is also known as dental caries or tooth decay. Tooth decay can lead to several problems, including sore teeth, sensitivity, and even tooth loss. Additionally, the presence of untreated tooth decay can spread bacteria to other parts of the body, leading to inflammation and possible complications in other systems, such as the heart and lungs. It is therefore super important to prevent and treat tooth decay to maintain oral health and general well-being. By adding a piece of dental floss to your daily routine, for example ;)

How do I clean my tongue with a tongue scraper? Cleaning your tongue with a tongue scraper is a simple and effective method of removing bacteria and fungi. By doing this, you can not only reduce bad breath and plaque, but also improve your taste and digestive experience, and contribute to better oral hygiene. Here are detailed steps you can follow to thoroughly clean your tongue with a tongue scraper: Step 1. Start by opening your mouth and sticking out your tongue. This ensures that you have easy access to the entire surface of your tongue. Step 2. Place the tongue scraper on the back of your tongue. It is important to place the scraper as far back as possible without it feeling uncomfortable. This ensures that you can remove most of the bacteria and waste that accumulates in this area. Step 3. Gently press the tongue scraper and begin to slowly pull it forward. Make sure you apply constant and even pressure, but avoid excessive pressure to avoid possible damage to the tongue. While pulling the tongue scraper forward, gently scrape the surface of your tongue. This removes the bacteria and fungi that have built up. Step 4. Rinse the tongue scraper with water to remove any bacteria and waste that may be clinging to it. Then repeat steps 2 through 4 until you have scraped the entire tongue. Move the tongue scraper to different parts of your tongue to ensure a thorough cleaning. Step 5. After you have finished cleaning your tongue, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water and/or mouthwash. This helps flush out any remaining bacteria and waste, leaving you with a fresh and clean feeling in your mouth.
