Uses animal fibers to eliminate microplastic intake while brushing
I love the Horse Bristle & Bamboo Toothbrush because the bristles are composed entirely of animal fibers. That means they are made without plastic like many toothbrushes you would find at the store. Research in Environmental Pollution found that standard plastic toothbrushes can and often do shed microscopic particles or "microplastics." Over years of brushing, those microplastics can quickly accumulate, so I encourage patients to explore plastic-free alternatives like this one from LIGHTSIDE. It's great that the horse bristles can be effective for cleaning the teeth and protecting the enamel as well. There is a lot that I like about this product, and I would happily recommend it as part of an oral care routine.
Encourages gentler brushing with soft and flexible bristles
I highly recommend the LIGHTSIDE toothbrush to patients whose gums may be irritated by stiff nylon bristles. A review of research found that hard-bristle toothbrushes can cause more gum abrasions than softer options, suggesting that soft and extra-soft brushes tend to be safer choices for most people. I expect many patients may notice that the horse bristles on this toothbrush feel noticeably softer and more flexible than standard nylon. This can offer a gentler brushing experience for sensitive gums. I appreciate the horse bristles are woven directly into the head, avoiding the use of glue or adhesives that may become triggers of irritation. After reading the research, I feel good about this product as a comfortable, low-chemical option for everyday brushing.
They wanted better. They found LIGHTSIDE.
