Toothbrushes can harvest dangerous bacteria which invite re-infection and the spread of illnesses from other family members. You can also spread cold and flu viruses between family members when an infected brush is stored close to others. It’s important to follow common sense rules about sharing anything that touches any part of the mouth, especially in the bathroom. Viruses live longer in a moist environment, Family toothbrush holders can cause cross contamination. If toothbrushes touch, viruses can spread. Wet toothbrushes cause germs to breed. Have you ever wondered what happens to all of the nasty bugs that you brush off your teeth? Many of the bacteria, fungi, and viruses actually remain on your toothbrush!!
What should you do? Toss your brush IMMEDIATELY after use when suffering from an infection or flu!!
Dentists emphasize the risks that bacteria on toothbrushes can pose. Doctors recommend throwing away your toothbrush when you become ill and replacing it as germs can remain on the toothbrush even after you have recovered.
