Putting
of the toothbrush bristles under a high powered microscope will definitely give
nightmares as it will make a person view something unusual! They are nothing
other than billions of bacteria crawling in a busy manner to and fro the
toothbrush bristles.
Fact
stated by Dental Hygienist
Even, it
can be easily observed that those microbes consuming proteins that came from
the mouth hence staying clinging to the bristles even after being rinsed by
water. Dental hygienist has stated the fact that rinsing of the
toothbrush after the brushing gets over, assists in the removal of some
ferociously hungry bacteria.
Recent
research and study have revealed that bacterial infestations develop on
toothbrushes within a few days of usage. Until and unless toothbrush is
sterilized before being packaged, chances are there that it will comprise of
bacteria as well.
Bacteria – Tenacious Little Germs
Bacteria
are considered to be among the tenacious little germs that head towards the
concealed areas between toothbrush bristles. They are highly adaptable and are
present in each and every type of extreme environment. Even there are some
people who prefer putting their toothbrushes into the microwave for a few
seconds in order to kill germs.
But
unfortunately, this procedure hardly works. Otherwise, one may end up with a
toothbrush which is bendable similar to a gummy doll and covered with high
proportion of germs. Hence, dental hygienist highly believe the fact
that feeding a cold and starving a fever will
free one from bacteria attacked toothbrushes.
Problems
in Case of Headed Cold
In case
of a headed cold, there are chances that the mouth remains teeming with
bacteria gleefully roaming around along with gobbling mucus as well as dead
skin cells. Brushing of teeth in case of suffering from a sinus condition will
make the brush like a magnet for those ravenous bacteria. Hence it is
considered to use the old toothbrush when a person is sick.
As soon
as the he gets well, he must take the initiative t throw it away and fetch a
new one. Otherwise, there exists possibility of re-infecting the teeth with
some other harmful bacteria and attacking microbes.
Recommendation
from Dentist in Bristol and Staff Members
Germs
and frayed bristles reflect the fact of demise of the toothbrush. The dentist in Bristol along
with the team of highly dedicated staffs recommends that the old toothbrush is
tossed in the trash and a new one is purchase within a time frame of every
three-to-four months. It has been observed that children end to bite their
toothbrushes.
This
results in further degradation of bristles along with faster fraying. As a
result, kids hold more chances of changing their toothbrushes more
frequently. Now the question regarding
the actual place of hiding of the germs!
