Do not stand in a wet cup, as constant moisture can cause this natural product to grow mould.

But measuring particles released during simulated brushing is not the same as measuring what is actually swallowed. During normal brushing, most foam and debris is spat out and rinsed away, which likely reduces real-world ingestion substantially.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA recent 2025 study found some toothbrushes released particles during testing, but the same researchers concluded \u003cstrong\u003eoral care products did not directly increase overall health risks associated with microplastic exposure.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurrent evidence also suggests everyday exposure to plastics is influenced more by sources such as food packaging, bottled water, household dust, and synthetic textiles than by your toothbrush alone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe believe customers should be free to choose what suits them best.
