Miswak Sticks for Teeth, Natural Toothbrush

Miswak sticks are pieces cut from the branches of the erak tree, useful for cleaning teeth and highly recommended. The use of miswak for oral and dental care is important. To use fresh miswak, peel about 1 cm from either end. Then apply pressure or chew with your molars until the peeled part looks like a brush. It's ready when it's stringy like a brush. You can also wrap the stripped end with plastic wrap and gently crush it with pliers to open the fibers. For dry miswaks, soak in water for 1 day before preparing. The ready-to-use miswak is held with your thumb and fingers. Brush your teeth transversely, not from top to bottom. Miswak can be used on teeth, gums, tongue, and palate. Avoid excessive pressure. Some initial gum bleeding may occur with weaker gums, but it usually passes as the miswak strengthens them over time. Ensure your hands are clean when handling the miswak.
