FAQs
How often should I replace my Truthbrush?
It is recommended to replace your Truthbrush every three months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed, aligning with general dental hygiene recommendations.
Is the bamboo handle treated with anything?
Yes, the bamboo handle is finished with a plant oil for a smooth feel and to enhance its water resistance.
Are the bristles safe for sensitive gums?
The bristles are medium-soft, made from 100% castor oil. While generally suitable, individuals with very sensitive gums might prefer an even softer bristle option if available. Consult your dentist if you have concerns.
How do I dispose of the bamboo toothbrush?
The bamboo handle can be composted or placed in general waste. The castor oil bristles can be removed (you might be able to pluck them out) and composted or recycled according to your local waste management guidelines.
What does 'certified B-Corp' mean?
A certified B-Corp is a business that meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. Truthbrush is committed to using business as a force for good.
Does Truthbrush contribute to environmental causes?
Yes, Truthbrush is a member of 1% For The Planet, donating 1% of its total sales to environmental non-profits that are creating positive change.
Can I use this toothbrush if I'm vegan?
Yes, the Truthbrush is completely vegan. The bristles are made from 100% castor oil, and the handle is made from sustainably sourced bamboo.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are splaying or losing their shape prematurely.
Ensure the toothbrush is allowed to dry completely between uses. Excessive moisture can degrade bristles faster. If the issue persists, it may be time to replace the brush.
Bamboo handle feels rough or develops a slight discoloration.
This is natural for bamboo. Rinse thoroughly and ensure it dries properly. The plant oil finish helps mitigate this, but some natural variation can occur. Avoid prolonged contact with abrasive or staining substances.
Toothbrush doesn't feel like it's cleaning effectively.
Check that you are using proper brushing technique and adequate toothpaste. Ensure the small head is reaching all areas. If you have specific dental needs, consult your dentist for personalized advice.
