I haven’t made any progress with miswak, although I read that olive twigs are a common substitute. There are plenty of those to be had. My conventional toothbrush still has a month or two left to go.

I personally think that the advised frequency on replacing toothbrushes should be taken with a grain of salt. In the recent past, dentists have been advising people not to brush so hard. I listened to the advice and my toothbrush appears to stay in good condition for way more than 3 months. One person in my family brushes too hard despite continued advice and it’s easy to see which toothbrush belongs to that person after a couple of months.
