Continue chewing from this end till the twig becomes soft and forms bristles at the center. To enhance this process, you could moisten the twig by dipping it in water. Once you see individual fibers resembling ‘bristles’, brush your teeth using the twig, as you would with a regular toothbrush. Remember to not use any toothpaste though. Trim or chew further up for fresh bristles whenever the existing ones are exhausted.
