Dr Azizi warned: “This can make the experience of brushing your teeth unpleasant and might deter you from maintaining good oral hygiene.”Dr Azizi said: “Continuous exposure to moisture can weaken the bristles of your toothbrush, making them less effective at cleaning your teeth.Dr Azizi said: “Using a wet toothbrush that harbours bacteria or viruses can cause you to reinfect yourself, especially after recovering from an illness.
The dentist added: “If your toothbrush is stored in close proximity to other toothbrushes or in a shared environment, harmful microorganisms can spread between brushes, increasing the risk of cross-contamination.” To minimise these risks, it is important to thoroughly rinse your toothbrush after each use, shake off excess water, and store it in an upright position in a well-ventilated area where it can air dry completely.Sign up and we'll email you a daily dose of lifestyle stories, covering sex, relationships, health, wellness, money, and green living.
