A maswak/miswak is a twig from the "toothbrush tree" .....Savadora persica. It has been shown to have some potential anticariogenic properties. A few abstracts:

Muslims in the Middle East and beyond if they can get hold of these, use this to-date to keep the gums and teeth healthy.......as following in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad [sallallahu 'alayhi wa salaam]. Prior to toothbrushes and toothpaste it would have been the sole means to keep the teeth and gums healthy of persons in the Middle East/India/other regions that have this tree as an indigineous species. In Saudia Arabia it has further uses too [you can read more here: http://www.academicjournals.org/jmpr/PDF… ].
In the uk you can get a mouthwash and toothpaste (SLS free) under the label sarakan that has an extract of this plant.
