For centuries, people over worldwide pay attention to dental care. In early stage the Babylonians used a chewing stick. In 15th century Chinese first invent toothbrush made of stiff animal hair. It is heard that Egyptians were very careful about their dental care as they were buried with small tree branches that they used to clean their teeth.
Parents and dentists always suggest their children about dental care. They always focus mainly on brushing the teeth rather than focusing on toothbrush. It is fruitless to brush your teeth without sanitizing the toothbrush. Lack of sanitization of toothbrush causes decay and diseases to your mouth rather preventing.
Dental care is one important concern of civilized society. Probably you think with modern technology dental care is absolutely flawless. But the reality is unless a toothbrush is sanitary, brushing your teeth results in vain. It has been proved through research that an unclean toothbrush is the house of bacteria.
Mostly people keep their toothbrush in a specially designed holder, counter or in stick it in a drawer. But the research says that none of the option is sufficient to keep the brush clean. Researchers found in their research after just 24hours of incubation brush contained over 2000 bacterial colonies. Although, much bacteria couldn’t make you sick but they are all responsible for teeth decay and gum disease. The bacteria just wait desperately in your brush to affix themselves to your dental the next time you brush. But there are so many ways to keep your brush germfree.
In the research for dental care researchers use three type of chemical to keep the brush clear. Some used Listerine, some used Peridex and some used Violight. Surprisingly the results of the tests showed all equal in nature. The Listerine, the Peridex both killed almost 98-99% of bacteria inside as well as the Violight did.
At last we can say for better dental care toothbrush should be sanitized in a proper manner after each use, and they allowed it for air dry. Never keep the brush in a drawer, or in a cover that may trap bacteria inside. And it is unnecessary to keep the brush for hours in an antibacterial rinse rather 10 minutes is enough for this job and then let it air dry. For better dental care doctors or dentists advice whether you use a manual or electronic toothbrush, you should change the brush every three months or so to keep that smile white and healthy. Last but not least, in this concern never brush your teeth with others toothbrush. There is a strong chance of transferring of germs from one mouth to another whether it will be within family or friends. Always make the brush air dry.
