Humble Brush NZ

An eco-friendly bamboo toothbrush whose profits aid the dental care of those less fortunate. Buy one brush, help two smiles!

Humble Brush is a toothbrush with a vision. The company was founded by a core group of young dental professionals who understood that we must change the way we look at tooth brushing.

The 3 beacons that continue to guide Humble Brush's efforts are:

Oral Health Care

Humble Brush produces ergonomically Swedish designed toothbrushes with soft bristles that allow optimal bio-film control without damaging the tissues.

Environmental Sustainability

The brush handles are handcrafted from panda-friendly, anti-bacterial, and bio-degradable bamboo.

Social Impact

Humble Brush is the main sponsor of the Humble Smile Foundation, which administers oral health outreach projects targeting the most vulnerable children around the world. In order for the impact to be sustainable, the program entails much more than just handing out toothbrushes. Educating about oral health has also been shown to be of little value. Dental treatment too doesn’t impact dental disease – if anything it contributes to further disease.

What's needed are preventive oral health interventions, that include changes to the daily routine such as monitored tooth brushing and modification of the amount of sugar in the diet. Healthy behaviors and lifestyles developed at a young age are more sustainable throughout life. Other interventions that aim to promote and facilitate long-term sustainable improvements include tackling upstream factors, and the environment, that cause poor oral health and create inequities.
