La Sunnah

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Were it not that I would make it difficult for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to use the Siwak (miswak) before every prayer."

Source: Sahih Bukhari 887

La Science

The WHO recognized miswak as an effective oral hygiene tool. Studies show Salvadora persica (miswak tree) contains natural antibacterial compounds, fluoride, and silica. A 2003 study found miswak users had significantly lower plaque and gingivitis scores.
