Plastic, metal makes sense; wood - may be not. A related subject may be the practice of cleaning teeth using a small branch of neem. It is common in India and so are plenty of toothepasts that contain Neem oil. As much as the thought of cleaning teeth using the neem branch repulses me, it works and on top of it, I have never seen any of them go to a dentist
