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.

Proper ventilation of the toothbrushes is really the solution in drying them out, instead of placing plastic caps over them, which makes it easier for the bacteria to multiply on the damp and warm toothbrush. As my dentist (Greer, SC) has told my little brother that, coupled with a clean teeth, we should also have a clean toothbrush to clean ourselves with.
Keeping that in mind, in addition to check-ups at the dentists in Greenville, SC, I also sterilize my toothbrushes to keep my mouth and my brush clean.
What do you use to serilize your toothbrush?
nice post!
It's true; bacteria multiply easily with in damp environment. But the bacteria also from the open air may land and multiply on toothbrush bristles. I suggest that after brushing the bristles must be left to dry first after covering it with caps to prevent both bacteria penetration. It is good to learn new things from dentists. Miami, FL is the place where people are very conscious with their mouth's health. They tend to learn everything just to keep their mouth healthy and their teeth dazzling with veneers. Miami is also a good place for dental tourism. Dentists are screened enough to handle different cases with handy care.
