Miswak
Twig used to clean teeth
Miswak
The miswak is a Middle Eastern teeth-cleaning twig made from the Salvadora persica tree. The miswak's properties have been described by the International Dental Journal as follows: "Apart from their antibacterial activity which may help control the formation and activity of dental plaque, they can be used effectively as a natural toothbrush for teeth cleaning. Such sticks are effective, inexpensive, common, available, and contain many medical properties". In use the outer bark is cut or peeled away, revealing inner fibers that act as bristles. The same stick may be trimmed and peeled multiple times to create fresh brushing surfaces.
