When it comes to oral health, your toothbrush is the
foundation for it. It is not just about keeping your breath fresh and minty and
your smile dazzling. You might not realize it , but your oral health is as
important as your physical health and negligence in your oral health might
actually lead to your physical health to deteriorate.
Brace yourself for some really ugly truth about your toothbrush;
things have had no idea about previously. Did you know researchers have found out
that as many as 10 million germs and bacteria can be loaded onto a single
toothbrush? If truth be told, some recent researches even suggest that your
toothbrush might even be a breeding ground of some microorganism. The warning
out usually depends on the person using it rather than the brush it self. Braces
and a heavy hand/ rough brushing wear out the bristles faster. Worn out
bristles are obviously less effective when cleaning and might even be damaging
your gums. A new brush is 30% more effective in cleaning your teeth. Keep your
toothbrush as far away from your toilet as you can because when you flush your
toilet. A spray of bacteria is released into the air, and you don’t want your
toothbrush anywhere close to it. Also shut down the lid of the toilet before
flushing to ensure your toothbrush stay clean.
If Anyone in your home falls sick, make sure to throw their brush
and anyone else whose brush has been contact with them or their brush, to
prevent / virus any further.
Avoid using a toothbrush cover or protector since they can create
a moist enclosed breeding ground for bacteria .If you do want to use a cover
with holes in it to ensure ventilation and prevent mould. Getting a new toothbrush
does not cost much. So when ordering a burger or coffee at your favorite fast
food joint, think again and spend that money on a new toothbrush instead .your good
health is worth at least sacrificing your favorite burger over.
