That is why you should keep a toothbrush at a distance fron the toilet, closet, or enclosed places. In addition, you should store your toothbrush away from others to prevent contamination. Each brush can contain 10 million microbes, including the bacteria that cause gum disease and tooth hole. Microbes can survive up to one day in the toothbrush.

A toothbrush is an ideal place for a variety of germs and bacteria because they contain water and also food germs. Toothbrush is also the entrance to the human body.
