TOOTHBRUSH CARE.
More than casual care must be taken of toothbrushs if they are to do their work efficiently, net only in cleaning' the teeth but in providing the necessary antiseptic to teeth and gums, advises an exchange. After each cleaning they should be well rinsed in antiseptic solution and put away to drain, if possible near a draught of air.
Although some dentifice makers recommend that their paste should be used on a dry brush, it is an added hygienic precaution to rinse the brush in antiseptic solution before the paste is applied. If the brush is thoroughly dried each time after using this rinsing will not appreciably soften the bristles. To ensure this dry condition at least two brushes should be in regular service for use alternately.
