The Dhaka Times Desk You might be gritting your teeth thinking everything is fine. But if you don't clean it regularly, germs accumulate in the toothbrush! So keep the toothbrush clean along with the teeth.
Many times those germs can spread to your mouth as well. In this regard, dentists say, not just washing, the brush also needs a little extra care.
How to take care of toothbrush?
The biggest weapon to keep your teeth healthy is the toothbrush. But the toothbrush needs to be taken care of just like the teeth. If you don't clean your toothbrush regularly, germs accumulate on your toothbrush. Sometimes the germs can spread to your mouth as well. Many people just wash their brushes with water. But experts say, brushes need extra care.
# It is often seen that the brushes of all members of the household are kept in the same container. Keeping everyone's brushes together like this is not a good practice. Rather, it also increases the risk of germ transmission from one person's brush to another's (especially open brushes, as there are now lidded brushes available). If someone in the house is infected with a contagious disease, everyone in the house should change their brushes as soon as possible. If it has to be kept in a container, it should be covered and then kept.
The # brush should not be placed in the bathroom at all. Toilets are already damp, with high humidity. In this type of environment, the spread of diseases is very easy. Therefore, there is a high risk of germs spreading on the brushes kept in the bathroom.
# If you wash the toothbrush head in hot water before and after brushing your teeth, the risk of bacterial infection is also greatly reduced. If hot water is not available, you can soak the brush in any mouthwash for a couple of minutes, which will also sterilize your toothbrush.
The # doesn't just brush. The more you can leave the toothbrush out in the open after washing, the faster the brush will dry. Especially if the brush is kept with a lid when it is wet, the risk of bacterial infection also increases. The cover with which you will cover the brush should be cleaned thoroughly with hot water every two weeks.
# If you use the same brush day after day and keep it clean, germs will accumulate. It is not at all right to use the same brush for a long time. If the stalks are deformed, the brush should not be used at all. If someone else accidentally uses your brush, that brush cannot be used again. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
