Now this never really bothered me in the past but on hindsight I stick this thing in my mouth just like food so it would be good to know what its composed of. What really got me though is seeing toothbrushes that say whitening or antimicrobial which begs the question. Why is this whitening or antimicrobial? What the heck is in it that is doing this action??? Now that I think of it this might be more than mildly infuriating.

    Yes, that part is called “marketing”. It’s plastic, that’s what they’re calling “antimicrobial”.

      I had thought that maybe it was a non thing but alls the marketing did was make me worried that they are coating it with something like triclosan or such.

          I don’t know man. I started using whitening toothpaste last month and I’m already getting pulled over by the cops a lot less.

          I actually stay away from whitening toothpaste because it usually means peroxide. Thats like what I want to know with the brushes. Is it something I don’t like in it. It being nothing at all pure bs would be the best outcome.
