Is Your Toothbrush Clean?
Brushing your teeth to keep them clean is important for your dental health. But while brushing your teeth, have you ever wondered, is your toothbrush clean? Let’s talk about how to make sure your toothbrush stays in top shape. Germs, Bacteria, and Mold? If you’ve recently been sick, you may have wondered if any germs could stick around in your toothbrush after you get well. Your body usually develops antibodies to fight viruses and bacteria after it’s made you ill, but it can be hard to know how many antibodies your body has created and how long they will last. There are also bacteria and mold in the environment that can contaminate your toothbrush. Because toothbrushes often stay moist in between uses, they can be the perfect place for bacteria and mold to grow.
