Simply trim or chew off ½ inch of bark from one end to reveal the bristles, then gently brush your teeth with short, circular motions. Rinse after use and cut again when bristles wear out.

Miswak (Salvadora persica) contains several beneficial compounds that provide natural cleaning and antibacterial properties without requiring additional toothpaste. Studies confirm it contains:

Natural fluoride which helps strengthen tooth enamel

Silica that acts as a natural abrasive agent for cleaning

Antibacterial compounds like benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) that are effective against oral pathogens

Other beneficial compounds including calcium, chloride, and alkaloids

Multiple clinical studies have demonstrated that Miswak is comparable or sometimes superior to conventional toothbrushing for plaque removal and reducing bacterial counts. The World Health Organization (WHO) has even recognized its effectiveness for oral hygiene.

Depending on frequency of use, one stick lasts about 2–3 weeks. For daily oral care, we recommend a fresh stick every couple of weeks.

Absolutely. Miswak is gentle on gums and safe for all ages. Its natural fibers clean without abrasion, making it ideal for people with sensitivity or dental concerns.
