How to Clean Your Toothbrush
- Uv sterilization
The most important aspect of toothbrush cleaning is “dryness and uv sterilization”. The simplest way is insolation, between 10 o ‘clock in the morning ~ 2 o ‘clock in the afternoon, it is the time with stronger ultraviolet ray, put toothbrush at this moment balcony or window edge, the place that can illuminate gets ultraviolet ray can.
Ultraviolet ray is not the same as sunshine, because this does not have to think must bask in the sun just is good, put indoors, the day of overcast day is equally effective.
- Dry
If you have to go to work during the day and have no time for UV disinfection, at least once a week. Instead, wash your toothbrush carefully with water. The bristles of your toothbrush are especially prone to food and dental residue.
Allow the brush to dry completely after a good rinse. If the bristles remain moist, bacteria can easily grow in the gaps between the bristles. Use paper towel to wipe, let toothbrush dry faster.
Change Your Toothbrush Regularly
According to Kaori Kikuchi, a Japanese dentist, you can tell whether a toothbrush needs to be replaced by two features: “the bristles turn outward” and “the bristles lose their elasticity”. If the bristles are made of materials that do not spread easily, you can pay attention to the original elasticity when buying a new toothbrush. The lost elasticity of the bristles will not remove the tartariness fully.
Other studies have shown that older toothbrushes with outward bristles are 40 per cent less clean than newer ones. And flowering toothbrushes have a hard time actually aligning the teeth, reduce stain removal, and run the risk of damaging the gums. In addition to these two options, you can also set a “toothbrush change Day”, where you change your toothbrush once a month.
