As the temperatures continue to drop, flu season will be upon us! Be sure to take good care of your oral health and switch your toothbrush after a cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the days after you\u2019ve recovered from a cold or virus, you may have a germ disinfecting routine<\/a>. This routine should include tossing your toothbrush. Germs could potentially live on toothbrushes for up to a few days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your immune system may have developed antibodies to keep your sickness from coming back. However, this is not guaranteed! You could be re-introducing bacteria back into your mouth, increasing your chances of a re-infection. You may also be putting the people who share your sink and store their brush right next to yours at risk too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the fact that there are many types of sickness that could infect you anew, starting fresh with a pristine, germ-free toothbrush isn\u2019t a terrible idea. Come visit us at The Dental Room, Dental Office located in downtown Calgary<\/a> to make sure your oral health stays on track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
