This is the Ethiopian toothbrush 🇪🇹

The name of this stick is miswak The miswak is one of the oldest known oral hygiene tools, and it is still being used by millions of people. Miswak (miswaak, siwak, sewak, Arabic: سواك) means, in Arabic, 'tooth-cleaning stick' or “stick used on teeth and gums to clean them”.

It’s Middle Eastern called miswak And the guy literally said Babylonian which is Iraq mate.

A number of scientific studies have demonstrated that the miswak (Salvadora persica) possesses antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-cariogenic, and anti-plaque properties. Several studies have also claimed that miswak has anti-oxidant, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory.

Found this. It seems that oral hygiene is deemed of high importance in the Islamic traditions.

I just spent $300 on a toothbrush 😭

It’s not Ethiopian. It’s Indian invented.

It's called Miswak and has too many proven health benefits. Muslim brothers use them at least 5 times a day.

Africans use it all. Nothing special

Is it effective? How does it compare to modern toothbrushes

Without any chemicals.. It is called Miswak. We Muslims use it at all times, especially before prayer and when entering the mosque to perform prayer.
