Good thoughts to begin our day devoid of plastic. Nice presentation . Further, the paste with chemicals may also not be healthy to us when it enters our system. But what is very sad is people have no time for time tested practices like toothpowder which may need natural powder from ingredients like clove and the 'brush' is just your fingers! Sadly, neem stick is rare to be found in any market...
Bamboo toothbrush (as available in India) have low quality control, I don't want to name the brand's but the popular three have really bad finish, which lead to chafing inside my mouth due to both bamboo and hard bristles. Sanding them down with fine grit ppr does help a bit.
