Did you know that Toothbrushes hide germs during cold and flu seasons?

Even though you may not think of sharing your toothbrush, you may be unknowingly spreading those germs. Studies show that toothbrushes can become heavily contaminated with oral microorganisms. This is due to most families storing toothbrushes in a common space. The way that it occurs is that airborne bacteria move from toothbrush to toothbrush passing infections as severa as periodontal disease to the common cold from person to person.

One of the easiest and least costly steps to good oral health is often neglected. While brushing and flossing require just a few minutes of each day, few of us take the time to establish this healthy oral hygiene habit. One of the best ways to lower you dental bills is to prevent major problems. This is where flossing and brushing can help.
