Your Toothbrush Can Make You Sick!
The human mouth is home to millions of germs which are transferred to your toothbrush each time you brush your teeth and cannot be eliminated no matter how thoroughly you rinse it. Your toothbrush is an ideal breeding ground for germs and can result in re-infection and cross-contamination of toothbrushes which may affect immune systems and lead to diseases.
“Even after being rinsed visibly clean, toothbrushes can remain contaminated with potentially pathogenic organisms.”
— The Centers for Disease Control
The Steribrush™

Toothbrush Sanitizer will protect your family and yourself from harmful bacteria and viruses that grow and flourish on moist toothbrushes. To use, simply store up to two toothbrushes in Steribrush™ after use. It will automatically kill germs using the same
germicidal UV technology used to
sanitize dental and hospital equipment and result in better oral hygiene. Steribrush™ also makes a perfect gift of health.
Your Toothbrush Can Make You Sick!
The human mouth is one of the filthiest places on earth and is literally home to millions of germs! These microorganisms are transferred to your toothbrush each time you brush your teeth and cannot be eliminated no matter how thoroughly you rinse your toothbrush.
“Even after being rinsed visibly clean, toothbrushes can remain contaminated with potentially pathogenic organisms.”
— The Centers for Disease Control
Scientific studies have shown that toothbrushes are an ideal breeding ground for germs. To make matters worse, cold and flu viruses, even bacteria that cause gingivitis, travel from
toothbrush to
toothbrush when stored closely together. This results in re-infection and cross-contamination of toothbrushes which can affect your immune system and lead to diseases. This happens especially when the fine bristles in your
toothbrush make fine incisions in your gums injecting harmful
germs directly into your bloodstream.
