Cleaning of teeth affects both social relations and health. Teeth that are not cleaned adequately lead to many diseases. New products for dental health are emerging every day. Although electric toothbrushes used in teeth cleaning make the teeth much cleaner, many bacteria can accumulate in them. Cleaning experts warn about cleaning electric toothbrushes. “If you want your electric toothbrush to maintain its pristine quality, you should replace the head every three months,” say the experts at Tech Times. Experts state that every time you use your toothbrush, you should rinse it thoroughly with hot water to maintain its cleanliness.
DEEP CLEANING MUST BE DONE ONCE A MONTH
Experts said, “You should do a deeper cleaning with disinfectant once a month. Otherwise, bacteria can grow on the bristles, tongue scraper and handle of your toothbrush. Mild amounts of bacteria won’t hurt you, they can cause bad breath, but a serious buildup of bacteria can even make you sick.” they warn.
RINSE WELL
Cleaning experts gave information about toothbrush cleaning. “Whatever solution you choose for cleaning, soak the toothbrush head for an hour, then rinse well and wipe dry with a microfiber cloth. Along with the bristles, you should also clean the toothbrush handle, especially if there is buildup or sticky toothpaste on any of the ingredients.” “You can try the air-drying method to further destroy the mold on the toothbrush head,” the experts added.
LET TO DRY IN A VENTILATED AREA
Let your toothbrush dry completely in a well-ventilated area and do not put it in a travel bag or sanitary cover that may prevent it from drying out.
