The Microbial World of Your Toothbrush

Your toothbrush can have many tiny living things on it. These come from your mouth, hands, and bathroom. Some are good, but some can make you sick.

To keep your toothbrush clean: 1. Let it dry after use 2. Keep it away from the toilet 3. Don't share it with others 4. Change it every three months

Washing your toothbrush with water helps remove some tiny living things. Using special mouth rinse can also help keep it clean.

Remember to brush your teeth twice a day for healthy teeth and gums!
