A Brand New Toothbrush (video)

There are so many short cartoons on the internet, it’s impossible to see them all. But when I saw the title, “A Brand New Toothbrush”, I couldn’t help but watch it. Hmmm, maybe this is something we can share on our website since it seems to be dentally related.

The first time I watched it I thought it was cute but slightly inappropriate.  From what I understand the underlying message by the Plasmatic Research Laboratory at The University of Newcastle is that bacterium destroys your toothbrush.  That’s an interesting idea. I always thought that a toothbrush gets destroyed by mechanical wear and tear.

Toothbrushes can get so grungy. With this in mind, last year at Yankee Dental, my wife purchased a Violife VIO200 Travel Toothbrush Sanitizers for the office.  Actually, I think she bought 10 of them to hand out as gifts.  I did roll my eyes at the idea.  Could she be right, again? Maybe there is something to this.
More on what the Violife VIO200 can do for you.

• Small, compact size doubles as a toothbrush travel holder
• Measures 8.5 x 2.1 x 1.1 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 0.4 pounds
• Travel sanitizer holds a single toothbrush (toothbrush included) and is operated by two AA batteries (not included).Duracell batteries work best with our products.

Either way, it’s probably a good idea to find some way of cleaning your toothbrush, and or replacing it on a regular basis.

A brand new toothbrush, and it’s lifecycle.
