With growing concerns about plastic waste and its detrimental impact on our environment, switching to biodegradable toothbrushes has never been more crucial. This change isn't just about reducing plastic waste. It's about embracing sustainable choices in every aspect of our lives—even in our daily dental routines. What are Biodegradable Toothbrushes? Biodegradable toothbrushes, unlike their traditional plastic counterparts, are designed to break down naturally over time. Typically made of materials like bamboo, cornstarch, or other plant-based substances, these toothbrushes can decompose, returning to the environment without leaving toxic residues. How Do They Differ from Regular Toothbrushes? At a glance, they might look similar, but there are significant differences between biodegradable toothbrushes and the regular plastic ones most of us grew up using. The core difference lies in their environmental footprint. Whereas plastic brushes might sit in landfills for centuries, biodegradable ones decompose much faster, reducing environmental harm. The Environmental Impact The Plastic Problem Every year, billions of plastic toothbrushes are thrown away, contributing significantly to global plastic pollution. These toothbrushes don't just clutter our landfills. They often end up in oceans, harming marine life and entering our food chains. Over time, they break down into microplastics, creating a cascading effect on our ecosystems. Benefits of Biodegradable Alternatives Making the switch to a biodegradable toothbrush can have a ripple effect, significantly reducing one's plastic footprint. Not only do these brushes alleviate the waste problem, but they also often have a lower carbon footprint in their production and transportation. Popular Materials Used in Biodegradable Toothbrushes Bamboo One of the most popular materials for biodegradable toothbrushes, bamboo, is both sustainable and naturally antimicrobial. Grown without the need for pesticides or herbicides, bamboo is a renewable resource that can be harvested repeatedly from the same plant. Corn Starch A newer entrant to the eco-friendly toothbrush scene, corn starch brushes are both soft and compostable. Made from processed corn, these brushes are robust, durable, and provide an alternative for those seeking variety. Other Materials (Miswak sticks, Neem, etc.) Beyond bamboo and corn starch, various traditional and innovative materials offer eco-friendly brushing options. Miswak sticks, for instance, have been used for centuries in many cultures, providing natural teeth cleaning without any waste. Similarly, neem sticks have antibacterial properties, ensuring oral hygiene while being kind to the environment. Choosing the Right Biodegradable Toothbrush for You Factors to Consider From bristle hardness to handle design, there are a few key considerations when picking the perfect biodegradable toothbrush. You'll want to ensure the bristles are free from harmful chemicals and the handle feels comfortable in your grip. Also, look for certifications indicating sustainable sourcing and ethical production. Care and Maintenance of Your Biodegradable Toothbrush Shelf Life and Durability While biodegradable toothbrushes are designed to break down over time, with proper care, they can last just as long as traditional toothbrushes. It's recommended to replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months, or when the bristles start to fray, whichever comes first. Proper Disposal To maximize the environmental benefits, it's essential to dispose of your biodegradable toothbrush correctly. If it's bamboo, you can compost the handle and recycle the bristles (if they're not biodegradable). Corn starch brushes can often be composted in their entirety, but always check with the manufacturer for specific disposal guidelines. The Bigger Picture: Beyond Toothbrushes Other Biodegradable Dental Care Products The shift to sustainable dental care doesn't stop at toothbrushes; there's a growing market for eco-friendly floss, toothpaste, and more.

These products often come in sustainable packaging, further reducing plastic waste. Why Making the Switch Matters Adopting biodegradable dental care products can be a small yet meaningful step towards a more sustainable future. Every switch counts, and together, these choices add up, making a significant positive impact on our planet. As we've explored in this guide, biodegradable toothbrushes offer a tangible way to make a positive environmental impact, ensuring our smiles aren't just bright but also green. By making conscious choices in our daily routines, we pave the way for a healthier planet for future generations. FAQs: Quick Answers to Common Questions Question: How long does a bamboo toothbrush take to decompose? Answer: Typically, a bamboo handle can decompose in a backyard compost in 3-4 months, but this can vary based on environmental conditions. Question: Are the bristles on biodegradable toothbrushes also biodegradable? Answer: It depends on the brand. Some use nylon bristles, which are not biodegradable, while others might use plant-based or animal-derived bristles that can break down. Question: How often should I replace my biodegradable toothbrush? Answer: Just like any other toothbrush, it's recommended to replace it every 3-4 months or when the bristles start to show wear. Question: Are biodegradable toothbrushes as effective at cleaning as plastic ones? Answer: Absolutely. The efficacy of a toothbrush depends more on its design, bristle quality, and user technique than the material of its handle. Question: Do biodegradable toothbrushes cost more than regular ones? Answer: While some biodegradable toothbrushes might have a slightly higher upfront cost, many users find the environmental benefits to be well worth it. Over time, as demand grows, prices are likely to become even more competitive.

summary: they’re the protectors of the trees, have been since they sprouted. after so much time, he’s become comfortable; too comfortable to notice when things change.

did you think i could continue the nymph!tine universe without adding ohmfong into it? impossible! the two of them (along with phuak) are based on alseids (grove nymphs) from greek mythology, but as a reminder, they are anything i imagined them to be.

this also became far longer than i intended it to be. so...oops? regardless, i hope you enjoy!

(side note: margosa trees - also called neem trees - grow in thailand.)

parts: 1 / 2 / 2.5 / 3 / 3.5 / 3.5i

From the high branches of the apple tree, lone and unique amongst the grove of margosa not far away, Fong keeps a watchful eye on the ground below. Specifically, the human boy who dares to take a step closer to Tine. One wrong move, and he will be sliding down the trunk, bark scratches and splinters be damned, to his aid. Such is the life of himself, Ohm, and Phuak, the protectors of the trees, the field, and the creatures that dwell there.

The human boy tosses a blade to the ground behind him and raises his hands to his chest, fingers spread wide in surrender. Tine braves towards him, sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong. While he relaxes, Fong only further tenses, fingers gripping the branch tighter, swirling patterns indenting into his palms. Tine is too quick to trust, leaving Fong to be the one to worry.

When he turns to the two nymphs above him, they seem to share his sentiment, if the creases to their brows and downturn of their lips are any indication. If there must be a soft spot for those they protect, they at the very least all agree to have the same one. To the three of them, that is Tine. And for him, they are attentive, subjecting themselves to a day of observation and scrutiny. But what else does one do for those that they love?

…

Humans are not so foreign to them. There are the occasional wanderers, free spirited couples who want to escape for a bit of privacy, curious explorers who collect leaves and twigs from the ground to shove into the satchels at their hips. But they are few and far between, never venturing in more than once.

Tine’s human boy, however, is an oddity. Every day without fail, he returns to the forest, walks through the trees until they part into an open meadow, and trails up the hill to the sole apple tree. Sunrise to sunset he stays, leaving with promises of a happy tomorrow.

It isn’t so much the human boy’s presence that concerns him. It instead is the light that reaches too high in Tine’s eyes. They all but glow, seeping a brightness across the fields when the sun sinks away. His cheeks push up too high, smile grows too wide, sighs become too dreamy. They are all warning signs that Fong knows better than to ignore.

Weaving between tree trunks, he follows the human boy through the grove. On the ground, he can see him closer, see a bit of what Tine must see in him. He has a handsome, angled face, sharp features that don’t quite match the softness in his eyes. Even from the tops of the trees, he can see the way they melt to enraptured fondness with merely a glance to Tine. There again comes his worry; the two of them make something so complicated so seemingly easy.

Fong is light on his feet, toes barely touching the dirt before he takes another step to keep up with the human boy’s longer legs. One with the wind, he resembles it whipping through the leaves, tearing those less fortunate from their stems, floating to the ground in a graceful dance. He is careful and calculated; a single step out of place puts him at risk.

It is a single step he takes. Misjudging the length he needs to take over a tree root, his foot catches. A pained hiss goes through his teeth, and he tumbles in perfect line with the human boy.

The first thing he notices when he regains his balance is the glint of a blade secured tightly at his waist. The second is the large, tan hand that covers it, ready to free it from its leather confines.

Fong is frozen still, eyes wide and unwavering from the gaze he has locked on the human boy. He stares back, still gripping the handle of his blade but making no move to draw it. It is as though each are waiting for the other to make a move, not daring to do so themselves. There is the perfect chance to dart away into the confines of the trees, and yet, he cannot bring himself to move nary a step.

Just as the human boy appears to want to move in closer and offer him his words, a cloud of dust huffs up between them. Feet hit the ground hard, the fall from the tree branches above kicking up twigs and rocks. Fong cannot see Ohm’s face, but it is all too obvious that he is angry. Squared back shoulders arch into long arms extended towards the ground, prepared to pull up the roots from the earth and trap the human boy within them.

He is on him before he can. It takes a series of progressively harder tugs on his hand to get Ohm to whip around and face him. Fire burns in his eyes, but it extinguishes when they meet Fong. Fear flashes through them, then grief, and then anger once more. But it is different than the first kind, more guilty than aggressive.

Before Fong can study him further, Ohm dashes through the trees, disappearing beyond the hills. The human boy is still looking at him, clearly perplexed from their exchange, but it is he who supplies an explanation with the single whisper of, “blood.”

Fingers rise to his cheek, find a wet pool that stings when touched, and when he pulls them back, they are tinted red. Somewhere between the dust and the fury, some of the kick up must have struck him.

He acknowledges the human boy with a nod before taking after his fellow nymph. From what he has seen, Tine’s human boy has far from bad intentions, considering how many chances he had to harm him, all of which he did not take. And regardless, there is something much more pressing he needs to see to.

…

It is not difficult to find where Ohm has escaped to. Just beyond Tine’s apple tree, down the far side of the hill, there sits a river. And on the banks, nestled between the cattails, he is crouched, head down, spine curved. A step closer, and Fong can see a scaled hand resting upon his cheek in comfort, webbed fingers spreading over his ashen skin.

Pear notices him almost instantaneously. She turns to look at him; the pink scales curving up towards her temples flicker gold beneath the sun, and her eyes grow soft with sympathy. He cannot make out the words she hushes to Ohm, but as she dives beneath the water, he glances over his shoulder. The flinch he gives matches the sharp pang Fong feels deep in his chest, just beyond his ribs, when he sees the remorse growing in his eyes, grief fading in just behind.

Two long glides, and Fong is on him, warming the cheek that Pear had left to grow cold. Thumb grazing over the indents of the vine that outlines his cheekbone, he forces a smile, hoping to rid the sorrow from his eyes; it hurts more than any cut ever could.

Those eyes – usually so big, so bright, full of mischief and unspoken plans between himself and Phuak – fixate on where the tree branch struck. Trembling fingers brave a graze so light he could have imagined it, and then his hand rests just beneath it, a hold mirroring the very one Fong has on him. More pain grows in from his pupils, spreading towards the edges of his dark brown irises until they are encompassed in a sadness too deep for Fong to bear.

He leans forward until their foreheads touch and their noses ever so carefully tuck into each other. He can feel Ohm’s breath feather onto his skin, rapid and staggered. Fingers stroke out towards his ear to say I’m okay while his thumb brushes just under his lashes to plead please don’t be so angry with yourself.

Ohm turns, forehead bumping his temple and rubbing against it. Each nuzzle presses an apology into his skin, gentle but not enough to go unnoticed. Fong feels it clearly, how much he means it, how badly he needs Fong to know it. And though he knew from the moment he saw the heaviness in his eyes, he stays still, not daring a move until Ohm feels he’s done enough.

It isn’t much, not for Ohm. For him, it’s always been different. Phuak has always been as close as a friend can be, a better one than Fong ever believed he deserved. Tine is the one he protects with a fierceness strong enough to topple trees and flood oceans. But Ohm…he doesn’t believe there’s a word to describe just what he is.

He is beside him before Fong knows he needs him. He follows in his steps or creates a path for Fong to follow. There is more said between them in single glances and lingering smiles than could ever be expressed through words. Where Ohm is, there is understanding, endless joy, a comfort that emerged one day and never left.

What one titles that, Fong hasn’t a clue. All he knows is that Ohm is forever, and staying like this, for as long as he needs, is nothing (and everything) in the grand scheme of things.

…

The next time the human boy visits, it’s with a string instrument in hand and a few more hearts to his eyes. Each moment passes by with his skilled strums, the birds drawn to the sound tuning their songs to match his melody. Tine’s attempts follow, unexperienced and clumsy and yet still met with soft praise. The back and forth floats to the treetops, to where Fong is perched with a hand pressed firmly into his lower back.

No longer red and stark, the scratch on his cheek should not be as offensive to Ohm as it once was. There is nothing to scream blame at him, no physical remnant of what he so wholeheartedly believes is his personal act of sin. And still, everywhere Fong goes, each turn he takes, a hand follows. Sometimes it hovers, a quiet whisper of protection. And other times, such as this, it is obvious, noticeable to an almost absurd degree.

He is not glass, has never been treated as such. He is resourceful, wise beyond his years, quick to a plan before others can so much as ponder the situation at hand. Proven himself for as long as the margosa grove has stood, he refuses to play weak for anyone.

But Ohm is not anyone, and anyone is not Ohm. And furthermore, does it make one weak to do what is right for your one’s – your only’s – peace of mind? Because regardless of his actions, Ohm’s trust in Fong’s strength has not wavered. It has instead pushed itself to the back of his mind in favor of guilt taking over the forefront, hazing his judgement with a desperate need for remedy. Perhaps it is not Fong at all, but Ohm feeling burdened by the wrong he believes he has done and this – the hovering, the following, the hands – is his way of making things right.

Regardless of reason, Fong has made his choice. If the price to pay for Ohm trusting himself again is a constant weight on his back and eyes on his cheek, then he will pay it proudly. There is strength in helping the ones you love. And as the human boy’s song plays on and Fong looks to Ohm – and Ohm looks to him, as he has been doing without fail – he cannot help but think of what little there is that he will not do if it is for him. It is as simple as breathing.

…

They came into this world on a sprout, grew along with it until it breached the skyline and was no longer lonely, surrounded by a collection of other trees that would become their home. The roots grew through their bodies, wound up around their arms and rose to their cheeks, tinting them the green of the margosa leaves. And from that very beginning, Ohm had been a beacon of light.

Brighter than the sun, the stars, and the moon combined, he brings warmth to every creature he meets. It bleeds out from his smile and into their chests, engulfing their hearts and melting it deeper into them until they ache with swelled emotion. Fong finds it so fitting that when the day breaks and the sun hits his skin, he shines a golden yellow as a symbol of all that is right and good in the small world they’ve created around them.

So when Tine shows off the flower crown he has woven for his human boy and that light within Ohm dims, Fong cannot help but recognize how wrong it feels. There is a hollowness to his eyes, empty and cold enough to send a shiver through Fong’s spine.

For a meadow nymph like Tine, this crown is special; to gift someone an object of his own creation, made from the flowers he bloomed from the very tips of his fingers, is no small feat. There is an unmeasurable amount of trust in a gesture that big, and for a moment, Fong believes that to be why Ohm has extinguished. They are protectors, and to him, Tine’s human boy must still be a threat. He is worried, Fong thinks as the skin around Ohm’s jaw tightens. He does not want to see him get hurt.

But no matter the worry or fear they may have over his decisions, Tine’s happiness is what holds most importance to them. However, when Tine lifts his creation, proud smile on his lips and hope squeezing his eyes to crescents, Ohm turns on his heel, showing his back to them before stalking out of the meadow and back towards the grove.

It is then that Fong realizes that none of this has to do with the human boy. Even more troubling is that he hasn’t a clue of what it does. He and Phuak are quick to reassure Tine with returned smiles and pats to his head. In between it all, they manage shared glances, each holding the same sentiment. Pray tell this is just a flicker, and he has not burned out entirely.

…

Starlight kisses his skin, patterns of the spaces between the leaves dancing across his cheeks and reflecting up into his eyes. There are just some moments in life that do not feel real, even when they are seen in person, and Fong believes this to be one of those.

Ohm has always been a familiar kind of beautiful, one that makes him feel safe. Crouched upon a branch of one of the margosa trees, the soft curve of his jaw stretches to get a better look at the sky, lips spreading slowly into a content smile. Under the light, he is still golden, but this kind is fainter, brighter, more ethereal. While he is entranced by the stars, Fong is entranced by him, because what could they possibly hold to this picture he wishes to etch into his memory for however long he has?

When he does take notice of him – because he always does, as if there is a sixth sense that only registers as Fong within him – his lips stretch further as he reaches his hand out to him. It is familiar, too familiar, and only when Fong takes hold does realization catch up to him, a swarm of memories flooding back to his mind.

The hands that he’d believed to be a phase of heightened worry that would slowly fade as his cut did are here; his cut is not. And his eyes dazzle into him, unwavering from the gaze he before had on his cheek and now has through his eyes and into his soul. That too should have gone when he healed, and yet, they both stay. Or is it that they never left in the first place?

Or could it be they had been there the entire time?

Pasts of fingers circling his wrist as he crossed the river on unsteady stones and palms brushing tears from his cheeks when Phuak removed a splinter from his foot. Histories of pinpricked pupils narrowing in on him when the first human to explore their grove came and crinkled eye-smiles first thing in the morning, saved only for him. Memory after memory, too many to count, so many he has overlooked. Always, Ohm has been there, looking at him the same, holding him the same, and he has never noticed. Because that is Ohm; it has always been Ohm. Fong has just gotten too comfortable with what they are – what they always have been – that he has been blind to things becoming so much more.

And now, he cannot focus on anything but. Every touch, every look, it is, it has, it will always be, their normal. What does it mean? What has it meant? Must it mean anything at all? It must, with the rate his heart quickens and the slight shake to his knees.

Thoughts consume him, and it’s all too much. It’s dizzying, how fast one’s mind can work. He clutches to Ohm’s bicep, hugs it close to keep his balance on the branch. Surely, he has done so before, subconsciously with far less concern. It is all he can do. That, and look at the stars; all he can see in them is Ohm.

…

After that night beneath the stars, Fong needs time to think. Realization hit him square in the chest and knocked all of the wind out of him. His nights are filled with those hands, those eyes, and something more. Breath on his neck, lips fitting against his own, arms catch around his lower back as he spins and spins and spins until he wakes to the only nymph to blame for this mess.

It is the day he uses as an escape, a time to distract himself in hopes of it bringing clarity. And the universe has blessed him with the perfect opportunity.

He was created to protect his tree grove and the creatures around it, and the stream just beyond Tine’s apple tree is no exception. Another human appears one day, a girl this time, and she does not stray from the place she’s made for herself on the water’s banks. She creates colors with her hands, a magic Fong was unaware humans possessed, and every so often, she looks up as though she’s expecting something. Every time she looks down, the hope in her eyes fades just a bit more.

It is not so difficult to decipher just what (who) she’s looking for, but it becomes even easier when he finds Pear at the mouth of her river – farther up on a shallow overhang of cliffs – staring down at the human girl with interest and hesitation. It is as though her body wants to go to her, but her mind shouts wait.

And she does, in a way. Each day the human girl comes, Pear inches that littlest bit closer, just to watch her, as though she’s trying to figure out everything there could be to know about her. Where she goes, Fong follows. She provides the sort of silence he needs when his mind is too loud.

On the third day, they’ve traveled far enough down the river to where he can see Tine’s apple tree as well as the two figures situated in the branches. While he’s gone off with Pear, someone has to look after Tine. Or in this case, someones. Ohm could have followed him, and if this were any other time, he would have. But he knows this is something Fong needs to do on his own, because he always knows. And that’s what makes this ever so hard.

It is odd to be apart. He discovers so on the fifth day when he sees Ohm’s shoulders bounce in what he can only assume to be laughter. An emptiness grows in the center of his chest, sinking his heart to the very pits of his stomach. They’ve never strayed far from each other, and this. This must be why. Has he felt a pain like this before? Has anything hurt him so terribly that he could feel it course through his roots and squeeze him tight?

Only one thing has. Seven days gone, and Pear has taken her leap. It is more of a tip toe to the human girl’s side, one that startles her when Pear reaches for her magic colors. But it is not long before they fall into one another. Shoulders brush, wrists cross. Pear smiles, and the human girl’s cheeks flush the same shade of pink as the magic color on the tips of Pear’s fingers.

The closeness they share is the same kind that Tine and his human boy have. It is something that Fong should envy but never has. The question of why is followed quickly by you know.

A glance to the tree tops is all he needs. He need not be jealous for he has a closeness of his own, has for far more than his mind has ever let him remember. Long before human boys and human girls, there were nymphs. Some with shimmering scales, others with blossoms at their fingertips. But there has only ever been one for Fong, something he had not understood until his cheek was gashed and he felt an ice-cold ache, more painful than any other he’d felt before, from eyes filled with irrefutable guilt.

…

Pear’s human girl presents her with a water lily. Fingers part back her hair to tuck it behind her ear where it sits proudly against her temple. Its soft gradient from white to purple radiates Pear perfectly, dainty with a striking, breathless kind of beauty that cannot be ignored. It is an altogether excellent choice, if the kiss the human girl receives is any indication.

Feeling as though he is intruding on a far too intimate moment, he turns and finds himself upon Ohm. His eyes dart away as well, but rather than out of respect, it appears he does so out of disdain. His expression carries the same anger it did when Tine showed off the flower crown he’d crafted for his human boy, the one he and Phuak could not comprehend.

A blink for clarity, he looks closer, really looks, and sees the sadness in the creases between his brows and the sharp bite he has on his lower lip. He’ll draw blood, Fong is sure, but he pulls back before he can surge forward. Just as he cannot break into Pear and her human girl’s private moments, he cannot do so to Ohm’s either; he is not entitled to that, regardless of the personal revelations he’s had within these last few days.

All he can do is shift back onto his hands and stare up to the sky, wondering what it is about humans and flowers that makes Ohm so heartbroken.

…

Fong is greeted back to the meadow with music and laughter. Tine is on his feet, each step leaving clusters of pink peonies; he dances around his human boy as he strums his strings and tries to catch him into a kiss. Pear and her human girl have joined them, spinning each other around and dissolving into fits of giggles when they are right way around again. There is not necessarily a reason for such festivities other than the thrill of being alive, but he supposes that is good enough reason as any.

Celebration circles through the air so thick that Fong can feel it. It warms his toes and melts his lips to a smile, but a chill passes over his shoulders from farther away. At the outskirts of the margosa grove, Ohm stands, leant against a tree trunk. His eyes, as they always seem to be, are locked onto him.

They are sad, though not in the same way as they were the day Pear’s human girl gifted her the water lily. This kind is a lonely kind of sadness, the kind that whispers I’ve missed you only loud enough for Fong, and Fong alone, to hear.

It drives him forward. That, and the notion that so many days have passed since they’ve been in each other’s presence. He hates it. He had to sort himself out, but he detests that it has caused this. His sunshine should always be bright, not this cloudy overcast with the chance of tears.

Standing in front of him, the closest he’s come to him in what feels like a millennium, he near breaks. But for Ohm, on the brink of shattering himself, he holds himself together and does for him what he’s done so many times for Fong; he reaches forward, palm up and ready to be taken. Every memory he’s recollected has Ohm taking hold of him and not letting go. This time, the first he plans of so many, he’ll hold him.

Fingers grip between his, squeezing tight enough to bruise. For all of the confusion Fong has had, Ohm has only experienced fear. That he would not return, that he was gone without a goodbye. And that, he has to rectify.

Pulling him forward, Fong manages to take back his hand and slip it around Ohm’s shoulders. The other finds the back of his head and presses his face to the bend of his collarbone. With strokes over his hair, nails catching over tangles and smoothing them out, he buries his nose into curve of his ear and inhales deep.

Grass, tree bark, apples, and something warm. It’s Ohm, it’s home, and Fong promises himself that never again can he stray for as long as he has. Here, cradling sunshine in his arms, is the only place he belongs, the only place he wants to be. It is an honor to hold up the sun, keep the light alive and burning, and it is not a privilege he plans to forget.

Ohm grasps at the back of his tunic, bunching the fabric up in his hands as though it will disappear if he is not strong enough. His breath is staggered, finally exhaling after days of not allowing himself to. And that’s a thought, isn’t it? By taking himself away, he’s taken away the very thing that allows Ohm to live. A day longer, and Fong would have found him beneath the tree he grew from, the two of them withered and alone.

Lips brush over the shell of his ear, gentle kisses unspoken promises of the forever Fong has always thought him to be. He’s never imagined a future where Ohm is not beside him, but it is more than that; he sees that now. Without Ohm, there simply is no future for him. When Ohm goes, so will he, their lives intertwined from beginning to end.

The music continues to play, but their own celebration continues in the privacy of the trees. Here, with Ohm in his arms, is not where their forever starts. No, that begun long ago. It is where it continues, with the promise that it will be as near to perfect as the universe allows.

…

Soft weight falls upon his head. His eyes roll up, hoping for a glimpse. Met with only rounded shadows, he reaches up, and his fingers find velvet, delicate to the touch. Taking it in both hands, he lowers it carefully to find a wreath of sunflowers, adorned with margosa leaves.

Unwavering, unconditional love with personal touches of the past woven in between. It’s so light, but it’s meaning is heavy, keeps him holding on tighter lest something tragic happen to it.

Just past where it rests in his hands, shifting from foot to foot, is Ohm. Not meeting his eyes, he waits for what Fong is unsure of. Perhaps for him to shove it back at him in rejection or stomp it into the dirt in disgust. It is within these nerves that Fong finds familiarity: a tight jaw and sad eyes.

He’s seen it before, with Tine’s flower crown and Pear’s water lily. It is not quite jealousy, nor is it resentment. It is instead a crushed desire, a hope he does not allow himself to have. It is the unexplainable want to be those humans. To have and to hold some part of the one they love; to give part of themselves to the one they trust most to take care of it.

That’s what this is. It’s unmistakable. Golden petals match the reflect across Ohm’s cheeks, in his smile, through the brown of his irises that shine just that slightest bit warmer. For so long, Ohm has yearned to give himself to him. And finally, he feels as though he can.

Situating it back onto his head, he takes Ohm’s hands into his. They are as warm as they should be. Ohm dares a glimpse, and the joy that bursts through him makes Fong smile. It’s a bit of a dance, the way Ohm pulls on his arms and catches him around the waist when he falls against his chest, but it is one he’d do a thousand times over if it keeps his sunshine hanging high in the sky, bright and brilliant, as he should be.

An honor, he thinks as Ohm leans down, captures his lips with his own. It is an honor to hold a piece of him, to be trusted this much. He is meant to care for every creature in the grove, in the meadow, in the river and forest beyond. Ohm has always been included in that; he was the very first after all.

How To Get Rid Of Gum Pockets?

How To Reduce Gum Pockets Naturally?

Natural cure for gum pockets?

Gum pockets are an oral problem that's really serious. Those who have gum pockets imply that they have Periodontal Disease, which is sometimes called periodontitis, to be cured. It might often be fixed in many different all-natural methods: following good dental hygiene, using natural home remedies, and making changes in your lifestyle. Using these methods along with pro, dental cleanings will shrink your gum pockets and strengthen your Dental Health within weeks.

Practicing Good Dental Hygiene

Brush the teeth twice daily. Among the best methods to cure gum pockets would be to brush your teeth regularly. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush the teeth lightly, as hard-bristles and aggressive brushing might cause the gums to recede more. However, brushing both night and morning can help eliminate all the food particles stuck in the teeth and harmful bacteria that get stuck in your pockets.

If you're aimed at reducing gum pockets, try brushing after eating food. This can prevent the area that has to cure from being exposed to more food and bacteria.

Use an electric toothbrush. Ensure that your electric tooth brush is charged. As soon as it has power, put some tooth paste on it, place it inside your mouth, and then switch it on.

TruDog Spray Me Doggy Dental Spray Review

https://www.centralparkpaws.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/31FLVjxSflL.jpg

I’m a big fan of dogs with clean teeth and fresh breath.

Not only because Ginger greets me every morning by jumping on the bed and giving me kisses, but also because bad dental health can cause serious health issues[1].

I have no issues with bringing my dogs in for annual dental exams, but Ginger and Calvin have terrible plaque and tartar build-up. So even though we bring them in annually, they need daily dental care.

I do my best to ensure they receive it, but the truth is Ginger is just not a fan of having her teeth brushed.

So, instead of brushing her teeth daily, I use dental chews and other dental products to help keep her teeth reasonably clean throughout the year.

I have tried a variety of products, but the truth is, I’ve yet to find one that compares to daily brushing.

A New Canine Dental Hygiene Product?

Click image for more info

That being said, I got pretty excited when I saw TruDog Spray Me on a Dr. Oz ad.

Not because I think that Dr. Oz rocks or that he’s an expert on dog’s dental health, but just for the sheer fact it was being advertised on Dr. Oz.

I am definitely a skeptic when it comes to products that seem to be too good to be true, but sometimes I do find that needle in the haystack, and who knows?

TruDog Spray Me could be that needle.

Here’s what I learned about TruDog at a glance.

It is a dental spray that claims to clears plaque and tartar in days just by using it daily.

Heck, that sounded pretty good, and honestly, if it worked half that good, I would definitely save some serious moola on dental visits.

What is TruDog?

TruDog Spray Me is a dental spray that claims to controls tartar, freshens bad breath, encourages healthy gums, and boosts the immune system.

It is a daily dental spray that is applied to both sides of the upper and lower teeth.

The liquid “bonds” with your dog’s saliva ensuring full exposure to the teeth.

TruDog has a 60-day money-back satisfaction guarantee.

What I Like about TruDog

I like the idea of a dental spray that replaces the need for daily brushing and expensive dental appointments.

I think that a spray that removes plaque and tartar plus boosts the immune system is pretty incredible.

What I Didn’t Like about TruDog

I am not comfortable with three of the ingredients: grain alcohol, grapeseed oil, and neem seed oil.

All three of these ingredients have the potential to can cause GI upset or significant illness.

Also, it is not VOHC certified.

The VOHC is the Veterinary Oral Health Council. This group tests various oral health products and will give products that test well their stamp of approval[2].

Who TruDog Works Best for and Who It Doesn’t

Though I am not comfortable using this product with my dogs, there are literally over a thousand reviews from people who did try it.

Greater than 50% of those who tried TruDog Doggy Dental Spray felt the product worked very well for their dogs.

Many consumers on a third-party website stated that they saw results within weeks of using TruDog.

All of those with favorable reviews made no statement of their dogs getting sick or strongly disliking the product. Many consumers even said it was easier to use than brushing.

However, the flip side to that was the negative reviews stating their dogs hated it or even became ill after receiving multiple doses of TruDog.

These consumers were in the minority and only a small percentage of these dog parents mentioned any GI upset from TruDog.

Personally, I believe dogs are like people, and there will always be a group that will be able to physically tolerate foods or chemicals that may cause illness in others. Two of my three dogs suffer from chronic diseases, so I use extreme caution when introducing new products of any kind.

My Recommendation

I believe that if you have read the ingredients and have weighed the possible risks against the health benefits of keeping your dog’s teeth clean and healthy, that is what is most important.

You know your pup better than anyone and will make the best decision for their wellbeing, and ultimately, you must trust your parental instincts.

I know that through my research of several different products for dogs, there is always a percentage of people who have had a negative experience. There is no product that will work for all dogs.

However, I would caution those that have dogs that are considered high-risk–say, ones that are young, old, or have a chronic illness–that an alternative product might be best.

If you’re still on the fence about TruDog Spray Me, the best option would be to contact your vet and get their feedback on whether or not this is the right product for your dog.

Shop on Amazon

Shop on Chewy

Alternatives

Effective, but more “hands on!”

The best alternative to using TruDog Spray Me would be to brush your dog’s teeth.

According to Dr. Donnell Hansen DVM, DAVDC from the Dentistry and Oral Surgery department at Blue Pearl Specialty Pet Hospital, the best way to keep your dog’s teeth healthy and clean is to brush your dog’s teeth[3].

She also noted that if supplemental products are used to be sure that they are VOHC certified as those have been tested and proven most effective.

Some of the VOHC approved options are:

Greenies Dental Treats – These are more of a chew than a treat. They are shaped like little toothbrushes and come in a variety of sizes and flavors. According to the VOHC, all sizes and types (grain-free, weight management, senior, and puppy) are all proven to help reduce plaque and tartar. You can find an in-depth review here.

Checkups Chews – The great thing about these chews is they do not contain wheat or chicken so, for dogs with allergies, these might be a good option. These are good to help reduce plaque and tartar.

Member’s Mark Dental Treats – Again, these are chews and not treats. These dental treats are also allergy-friendly; they do contain rice flour, but they don’t have dairy, eggs, gluten, or animal proteins. Per the VOHC, these will help manage plaque and tartar.

Milk Bone Brushing Chews – For the dogs that like chicken, these might be the perfect dental chew. These are a bit flatter than the Greenies so they may be more comfortable for some dogs to eat.They’re better for your dog than original Milk Bones. According to the VOHC, these will work to help manage tartar.

As for water additives and sprays, the only VOHC approved brand is Pet Essential, which can be purchased on their online store or in select vet offices.

I am not saying that products that aren’t certified by the VOHC don’t work.

Many likely do.

However, if you are looking for products that have been tested, then sticking with products with the VOHC stamp is best.

Final Thoughts

For now, I am just going to stick with my dental chews and regular vet visits.

If Ginger were more amenable to allowing me to brush her teeth, I would absolutely do that, but it’s just not worth the fight.

I think that if there weren’t so many health concerns in my household (heart murmurs, IBD, and Cushing’s), then I would be more willing to try TruDog.

I know that some of the products I use, such as dental chews and elk antlers, are not always vet recommended, but I’ve weighed the pros and cons and go with what works for our family.

This article is not to persuade you to either buy or not buy TruDog Spray Me. It is merely my findings after doing the research.

I hope that I’ve provided you with enough information so you can decide whether or not it’s a good match for your pup.

How to Get Rid of Cavities?

What is cavity?

Cavity. That is the word nobody needs to hear at the dental specialist's office. A depression creates when a tooth rots, or separates. A depression is a gap that can become greater and more profound after some time. Depressions are additionally called dental caries, and in the event that you have a hole, it's critical to get it fixed.

Be that as it may, for what reason would your tooth build up a gap? Accuse plaque. That is a sticky, disgusting substance made up for the most part of the germs that reason tooth rot. The microscopic organisms in your mouth make acids and when plaque sticks to your teeth, the acids can destroy the peripheral layer of the tooth, called the polish.

On the off chance that you don't go to the dental specialist, the acids can keep on clearing their path through the veneer, and within parts of your tooth can start to rot. On the off chance that you've at any point had a toothache or heard a grown-up gripe around one, it might have been on the grounds that there was a hole that achieved right inside a tooth, where the nerve endings are. Ouch!

Your dental specialist will cautiously look at your teeth and may take X-beams. In the event that your dental specialist finds a cavity, the person can fix it for you by first evacuating the spoiled piece of your tooth with an uncommon drill. The dental specialist at that point fills the opening in your tooth with an exceptional material. The outcome is known as a filling.

Dental cavities, or caries, are modest openings in the hard surface of the teeth. They are brought about by microbes on the outside of teeth making corrosive out of sugar. The most widely recognized offender is a bacterium known as Streptococcus mutans.

This disintegration causes modest gaps in the polish. When the corrosive harm spreads into the dentin layer underneath the finish, a hole frames.

Cavity Prevention Tips

Despite the fact that depressions can be fixed, attempt to stay away from them by dealing with your teeth. Here's the ticket:

Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste after each feast or if nothing else two times every day. Sleep time is a significant time to brush.

Brush here and there in a round movement.

Gently brush your gums too to keep them solid.

Limit desserts and sugary beverages, similar to soft drink or squeeze.
