How often do you change the toothbrush cup?

Generally speaking, according to the frequency of eating twice a day in the morning and evening, plastic toothbrushes should be replaced within 1-2 months, and animal hair toothbrushes must be replaced if they are used at most 1 month. Although the toothbrush cup is more durable than the toothbrush, it should be replaced every five months or so, and more attention should be paid to cleaning at ordinary times. When cleaning the tooth cup, the dent, edge and bottom should be washed with clean water and wiped off with a small brush. Generally, there will be dirt on the bottom of the tooth cup after long use. A good cup is smooth and flat, and it will fall off when washed hard, leaving no scratches. In addition to daily cleaning, it is also necessary to dry and disinfect frequently.

After brushing their teeth, many people often throw wet toothbrushes into their teeth cups, and some people even rush to pour brushing water into their teeth cups. Although we often wash toothbrush cups, there are still some details overlooked.

We can't make sure that the toothbrush is clean. Toothbrushes are usually placed upside down, so that bacteria and water droplets that do not dry up in time will flow to the bottom of the cup, and sometimes there will even be a thick layer of dirt at the bottom of the tooth cup.

The tooth cup has become a place to hide evil and shelter evil people. They don't help "toothbrushes" clean their mouths and build their teeth, but become the vectors of infectious diseases or the bane of diseases.

There are a lot of bacteria in human mouth, such as Candida albicans, Staphylococcus, hemolytic streptococcus and so on. After each brushing, food residues and bacteria in the mouth will enter the toothbrush because the toothbrush is in contact with teeth and gums. These toothbrushes and cups contaminated by bacteria and viruses can not only protect teeth, but also induce enteritis, gingivitis and periodontitis.

The solution is to put the toothbrush head in a ventilated and dry place after washing and drying.

Many families are not used to doing this, but are willing to insert the tooth cup. Then the tooth cup should be cleaned at least once a week, and it should be cleaned in time and kept dry. It can be sterilized by boiling regularly, and the boiling time can reach 10 minute. Or soak some vinegar in the tooth cup, then carefully brush the bottom of the cup with vinegar, or clean it with diluted disinfectant.
