Your toothbrush determines your dental health and mouth refreshes, however it’s very important that you replace your toothbrush with another one after illness, to avoid bacteria being passed to other family members of yours.

Toothbrushes should be taken proper care of, when it comes to keeping it clean at all time, as most toothbrush carry bacteria after usage for some time, so it’s expected that you soak the head of your toothbrush in mouthwash denture cleaner or boil it in a toothbrush sanitizer, you can use very hot water to rinse your toothbrush, if you can’t afford to apply any of other measures stated earlier.
