TOOTHBRUSH CARE
More than casual care must be taken of toothbrushes if they are to do their work efficiently not only in cleaning the teeth but in providing the necessary antiseptic to teeth and gums, states an exchange After each cleaning they should be well rinsed in an antiseptic solution and put away to drain if possible near a draught of air Although some dentifrice-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.
