Does the toothbrush you just bought need disinfection?

It is best to disinfect, even if you just bought it, you can't avoid being completely sterile. For the sake of oral health, it is best to disinfect toothbrushes, especially toothbrushes for daily use. Dental experts examined people's used toothbrushes and made bacterial culture, and found that toothbrushes were contaminated by hemolytic streptococcus, pneumonia, Escherichia coli and staphylococcus. After laboratory tests, dentists found that the number of bacteria in toothbrushes used for three weeks was as high as one million, equivalent to the number of bacteria in 9 cups of dishcloth water, equivalent to the number of bacteria in 29 one-dollar coins, and 80 times the number of bacteria in toilet water. These bacteria constantly invade the human body through the swallowed or broken gingival mucosa and oropharyngeal mucosa. Even if there is no wound in the oral mucosa, a large number of bacteria will adhere to the teeth and fully mix with food during chewing, and finally enter the human body. Thereby causing gingivitis, chronic pharyngitis, stomatitis and other diseases. Oral diseases can cause or aggravate heart disease, stomach disease, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, joint diseases and complications. At present, there are some toothbrush disinfection equipment on the market, such as toothbrush disinfection box. If you are not sure about the safety of toothbrush, you can try it.
