هذا ما يقوله د.ويل:
- Rinse the brush thoroughly after use and let it dry in an upright position.
- If you keep your brush in the same holder as others in your family, make sure the bristles don't touch each other.
- Don't share toothbrushes.
- Keep your toothbrush in a location well away from the toilet - flushing can allow bacteria to travel from the bowl to your brush
- Never store your toothbrush in a closed container - bacteria are more likely to multiply in a warm, humid, closed environment.
- Replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if you notice that it looks worn (look for bristles that are splayed or bent out of shape).
