Apparently most electric toothbrushes are made with plastic bristles that contains Pfas and PTFE, etc. So, looking for recommendations on safe alternatives, preferably electric (since it cleans better IMO).

Hi Thomas,
Are you just looking for more natural bristles or are you looking for as much of the toothbrush to be made of natural materials as possible? Obviously with an electric brush you have the electronics and batteries which are probably not going to be plant based materials.
