Test subjects wanted - try nature's tooth brush?
    #23483294 - 07/27/16 06:35 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I stumbled upon this article which talks about tribes in africa using twigs as tooth brushes.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/dental-care/news/article.cfm?c_id=1500935&objectid=10446594

I'm lucky enough to have a fresh branch of a cinnamon tree handy so I gave it a try.

After fumbling around awkwardly trying to figure out how to make the best use of this thing concept here is what I found
works fairly well.

starting with a branch about 5-6 inches long:
I took a twig about a centimeter in diameter and split it in half lengthwise.  Then I chewed the end,
about 1.5 centimeters worth, until the wood fibers separated much like bristles on a tooth brush.
Then simply rub against teeth up and down like bristles on a tooth brush.

Chewing the branch outright also seems to be good exercise for the teeth/gums and you can use a new twig
each time.

Anyhow my teeth feel really polished clean, I would say significantly more so than by regular brushing.

I'd appreciate if a few brave volunteers could give this a try and tell me what you think,
I read somewhere that a medium hardness wood should be used like apple, fig, plum.
Some few trees have toxins in the bark so please do a little research first if your going to try this.
