Boka Products

Why do I need to change my toothbrush every three months?
The American Dental Association recommends changing your brush at least every three months. If you’re getting over a cold or flu, we recommend changing your toothbrush to avoid spreading germs and reintroducing the virus to yourself.

Why are Boka bristles black?
They’re made with Binchotan activated charcoal, which naturally helps prevent bacteria from growing on your brush. The ultra soft bristles provide a gentle, thorough cleaning that doesn’t damage your teeth and gums. They’re also tapered at the top to tackle plaque between your gum-line and teeth.

What electric brushes are your electric toothbrush heads compatible with?
Boka electric toothbrush heads are compatible with Boka Brushes only.

Is your toothpaste vegan or gluten free?
Yes! Our toothpaste is both vegan and gluten free.

What’s in your toothpaste?
Ela Mint is the first nontoxic, natural toothpaste with science-backed ingredients that outperform fluoride. Our minty toothpaste is made with natural ingredients and essential oils like peppermint and mint. It contains no sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), fluoride, triclosan, artificial flavors or parabens. For more specifics on the science behind our exclusive, natural toothpaste made in the U.S.A. see here.

What’s your floss made of?
Wrapped in natural vegetable wax, Boka floss glides smoothly and expands between teeth to give you a super-clean mouth and gums. And, you can be sure it’s Teflon-free and petroleum-free!

The Company

Why does a healthier mouth lead to a healthier me?
Today, a growing body of evidence links the mouth to overall body health, especially the cardiovascular and immune systems. Despite the known oral-systemic connection, at least 50% (some estimates are up to 90%) of the country has some form of Periodontal Disease. Our goal is to empower you to take control of the health of your mouth—and ultimately your life—with natural, effective dental products.

What’s Surge and how is Boka affiliated?
We’re so glad you asked! Surge is a nonprofit organization bringing life-sustaining water and sanitation solutions to those in need. Surge also raises awareness of the global water crisis. Through our partnership with Surge, we provide a free toothbrush to those in need for every Boka brush ordered. We also provide Surge with educational materials on proper oral-care. As Boka grows, we will help establish and support local dentists and entrepreneurs in key Surge outposts around the world to build and nurture local economies while providing better oral care and clean water to communities.
