Summary

Oral-B Dual Clean Soft Toothbrush scores 28/100. A mass-market disposable plastic toothbrush — the soft bristle stiffness is genuinely gentler on gums and enamel, but the all-plastic construction (ABS/polypropylene handle + nylon bristles) sheds microplastics into the mouth with each brushing and adds to landfill on a 3-month replacement cycle. Bamboo-handled alternatives with castor-bean-oil or boar-hair bristles (Brush With Bamboo, Bite, Gaia Guy) are dramatically cleaner. Owned by Procter & Gamble.

Key ingredients 4

Very Bad

Documented microplastic shedding from nylon bristles into the mouth and waterways with each brushing (Kosuth et al. 2018). Petroleum-derived and non-biodegradable; ingested microplastic accumulates in tissues.

Bad

Petroleum-based virgin plastic that goes to landfill on a 3-month replacement cycle. Non-biodegradable; contributes to global plastic-pollution load.

Bad

PET/PVC clamshell blister packaging is generally not curbside recyclable in most U.S. municipalities and ends up in landfill.

Good

Soft bristle stiffness is clinically gentler on enamel and gums than medium/hard, reducing the risk of mechanical abrasion and gingival recession over time.
