Today, dental research confirms what the Sunnah already knew — miswak contains natural antibacterial compounds that meaningfully reduce plaque and support oral health. This post explores the hadith on miswak, what the science actually shows, and how to use it properly. Long before toothbrushes, fluoride, or dental clinics existed, one small stick from the Salvadora persica tree was already part of a daily hygiene routine practiced by the Prophet ﷺ, over and over, before every single prayer.
