The single most important tool in the battle against dental decay is the humble toothbrush but many people treat it with indifference. Maintaining a clean and germ-free toothbrush can be achieved by taking a few simple steps:
– Do not store toothbrushes in enclosed spaces including a bathroom cabinet
– Store toothbrushes upright to allow them to dry and air properly
– Do not store several toothbrushes packed together
Brushing teeth correctly with a well-maintained brush is paramount to good dental health as any dentist will attest. Human mouths “contain billions of bacteria” and these will multiply on toothbrushes that are stored incorrectly.
