OZON .60 coming out with toothbrush product...Read below OZON has a product to clean toothbrushes coming out...May A substantial amount of research confirms that a variety of bacteria and viral agents can survive for substantial periods of time on your toothbrush. Among these microbes are influenza viruses, herpes simplex I, streptococcus, staphylococcus, candida, gingivalis and bacteroides that causes gum disease. ... Studies have demonstrated that toothbrushes become infected sometime after one week of use, but before one month. As a result of his extensive research, Glass advises that you replace your toothbrush with a new one every two weeks. ... And if you think you're safe just using a new toothbrush, you may be dismayed to learn that in one study four out of five brand new brushes straight out of the package were already contaminated with staphylococcus epidermidis. So what can you do to minimize the health hazards of a contaminated toothbrush? Unfortunately, microorganisms are not effectively killed by such techniques as soaking the brush in antibacterial mouthwashes or cleaning the brush in a dishwasher. And methods that do kill the requisite number of microbes, such as boiling and microwaving, generally render the brush unusable.

While the Pollenex product was effective in killing microorganisms, it is not currently available. That leaves the Purebrush device, which costs $79.95 and works with any toothbrush. Studies show it effectively kills any germs left after brushing and rinsing, and it protects the brush from airborne or other opportunistic contaminations. After extensive research on toothbrush hygiene, Glass has signed on as medical advisor to Purebrush. He stresses that he does not profit from sales. "With UV sterilization you won't have to worry about contamination, but you should still change your brushes every two weeks to avoid creating portals of entry." ...
