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.

      thanks but the thing is I want to know what the specific toothbrush im going to buy is made of. What “innovations” it may be using.

        There are no ‘innovations’. You have electric & manual. Natural (bamboo, wood, animal bristles) or types of plastic. Some companies make metal handles with replaceable heads. It’s just materials & marketing. Your teeth get whiter and cleaner because you brush them. Antibacterial just means, germs cannot survive on the materials. Like NSF restaurant tools. And usually the plastics are made of materials that will not ‘shed’ while using them. If… they are made correctly. Marketing is everything. 99% of it is spun into a lie. “All over body deodorant” is the latest scam. No one stinks “all over”, if you do see a doctor. Basic deodorant in your pits is all anyone needs.
