Frequently Asked Questions About Brushing Teeth in the Classroom.

2. Why should toothbrushes be stored with the handles pointed down and the bristles at the top?
Water from the bristles combines with germs from the hands and then gravitates to the lowest point on the brush. It is pretty obvious that the lowest point ought to be the handle.

It is also easier to dry the bristles in this way. In Miami, Florida, dentists teach every patient about the proper care for their teeth and maintaining cleanliness of their toothbrushes. Especially those who have veneers (Miami). They give their patients instructions.
