TURKISH DENTISTS WARNS NOT TO STORE TOOTHBRUSH IN BATHROOMS
.
You’ve all been hiding your toothbrush in your bathroom in front of your mirror for years, haven’t you? And did you ever think that the bacteria that enter the air when you flush it could infect your brush? Dentist in Antalya warns: “Never store your toothbrush in the bathroom, especially close to the toilet.”
According to the results of a study by the American Society of Microbiology on bathroom cleaning, toothbrushes in your bathroom can contain a large amount of bacteria. In addition, researchers especially note that putting your toothbrush in a first-aid closet or travel container to protect it from germs is also a bad choice. The way to minimize the spread of germs is to close the toilet lid before you flush it in the toilet and make it a habit.

KEEP YOUR TOILET SEAT CLOSED TO AVOID BACTERIA

Turkey dentist reviews, “bacteria can pass from brush to brush in front of our mirror in the bathroom, especially in toothbrush storage cups where more than one brush coexists. ”You should keep your toothbrush in a high place so that it does not come into contact with other toothbrushes and close the toilet seat before flushing so that germs do not spread,” is warned.

PROTECT YOUR TOOTHBRUSH FROM DUST AND BACTERIA
“You can also use two different toothbrushes in the morning and evening to allow your brush to dry completely until the next toothbrush. Of course, using toothbrushes with lids with vents on them also reduces the placement of dust and bacteria on the brush throughout the day.”

DRY IN ONE CORNER OF YOUR ROOM

Especially families with children at home should be more careful emphasizing “you may be hiding your toothbrush indoors to protect you from germs spreading from the bathroom. But putting your toothbrushes in boxes made for small medicine cabinets or toothbrushes prevents your brush from drying out and causes bacteria to form. This method is also not a healthy method. After use, rinse your brush thoroughly, store it upright in a cup in a corner of your bedroom to dry with air. Be sure to change your toothbrush every three months,” is advised.
