Frequently Asked Questions about Brushing Teeth in the Classroom!

4. Aren't the cute colorful plastic caps good to use over the bristles of the toothbrushes?

No, because bacteria from the mouth remain on the brush after each use. These bacteria are not eliminated when the brush is rinsed. In fact, the bacteria incubate and multiply in the dark, damp and warm environment that the cap provides. Some childcare centers have been attracted to these colorful caps. Please be aware that the use of these caps, or any caps on the toothbrushes will not allow the toothbrushes to dry regardless of how many holes are in the cap. There is just not enough air circulation inside of the caps to allow for quick and thorough drying of the bristles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brushing Teeth in the Classroom.

1. Why is it important to air-dry toothbrushes?

Answer: Bacteria from the mouth remains on the brush after use. These bacteria are not eliminated when the brush is rinsed. Most bacteria are destroyed when the oxygen in the air reaches them. If the brush remains wet or damp for a period of time, the bacteria incubate and multiply and therefore can be a problem. The quicker a brush is dried, the better it is.
