Toothbrush Care

Toothbrush Care

by dentalmadeeasy / Wednesday, 03 March 2021 / Published in Blog Updates

Everyday we use our toothbrushes, but how often do we take the time to care for them properly? Keeping your toothbrush in great condition is a major factor in ensuring that your teeth and gums are being cleaned well. 

Ways to Clean

Many people are not aware that you should be cleaning your toothbrush as you use it daily. Bacteria and other microorganisms get trapped within the bristles every time you brush and from being stored in the bathroom. A simple way to sanitize your toothbrush is by running it over hot water before and after you brush. An alternative to this is to invest into a toothbrush sanitizer. Another option is to let your toothbrush sit in antibacterial mouthwash for about 2 minutes.

Store it Right

It is key for your toothbrush to be stored well, being that it is used in a vulnerable part of the body. Most people store their toothbrushes in the bathroom, leaving it exposed to fungi and viruses as mentioned previously. When used in these conditions, this can lead to tooth decay over time or cause illness. Keep your toothbrush at least three feet from the toilet and make sure it stands up right.

Out With the Old

The lifetime of a toothbrush can vary, but a general timeframe to replace it is around 3 to 4 months. It is also recommended to change your toothbrush once the bristles are beginning to wear out. After it gets to that point, the effectiveness of the bristles are reduced. When they are bent, they are not able to clean teeth sufficiently. This applies to both electric and manual toothbrushes. 

For Your Information

If you or a family member have been sick, (COVID-19, cold, flu, or any other sickness that is transferable) it is recommended to get a new toothbrush especially if your brushes are kept in the same area. This protects you from the spread of germs and becoming ill. Another thing to note: DO NOT share your toothbrush! Not only is it unsanitary, but this also can lead to the transmission of sickness as outlined above. 

While we may not realize it, our toothbrush plays an important role in our oral health. Taking care of your toothbrush is essential for keeping your smile bright in between your visits to Dental Made Easy! We hope to see you soon!
