Oral hygiene and its care play a very important role in keeping ones teeth healthy, strong and free from bad odor. By appropriate way of brushing twice or thrice a day can keep oral health at real high state. But, what about the brush itself? Is it safe enough to use that brush when it is exposed to the outer environment? Sadly, the answer of this question is “NO”.
When kept outside and exposed to external environment, lots of microorganisms gets accumulated on the Bristles, head of the brush making it unhygienic to use in those conditions. Moreover such microorganisms can transform into harmful bacteria which increase by replicating themselves in a moist, warm climate which is always available at the tip of the toothbrush due to its regular vicinity with water and it’s presence in the bathroom always. It is unwise to use a new brush every time and not viable also. Then what should one do in such catchy position?
The answer is quite simple. We have to use sterilization methods to make it free from germs or microorganisms. Sterilization is the process, which acts against the spread and, replication of such microorganisms by maintaining few specific temperature conditions in which these minute living organisms can’t thrive or even exist. There are different methods of sterilization processes, but the most common and effective method used in case of toothbrushes to keep them free of bacteria is use of UV rays. The scientific studies have shown that UV rays eliminate 99% of bacteria in its influential area.
There are many devices using this property of UV rays are available in the market. These devices are often known as ‘Vio Light Sanitizers’. It is basically a metal case which houses the tooth brush. This case contains a cap, which has the locking facility. Inside the case, there is ultra violet germicide bulb is present which is powered by ordinary supply in normal use or by two A.A batteries when we are mobile.
The procedure of sterilizing the toothbrush is very simple. You have to rinse the brush clean and then place the brush facing the ultra violet bulb so that the radiations emitting from the bulb should directly fall on the head of brush, containing bristles. Then keep the cap in place and lock it. The emission will start automatically and start killing the germs. So are the wonders of medical innovations, here we come
