REFERENCE ARTICLES
“Most people know regular brushing and flossing help prevent cavities, gum disease and bad breath. But there is a growing awareness of the connection between the health of your mouth and the health of your body. Studies have linked gum disease with heart disease. Oral bacteria also has been associated with stroke, diabetes and the birth of pre-term, low-birth-weight babies, according to the American Dental Association.”

Next up, toothbrushes that count the time for you” By JULIE DEARDORFF

“Studies have shown that contaminated toothbrushes not only harbor, but also transmit both viruses and bacteria that cause systemic, localized and oral inflammatory disease.” Journal of the American Dental Association, Sept. 2001
This invasion of toothbrush-related germs into our bloodstreams may spread infections throughout our bodies, placing constant stress and strain on our immune systems. These mouth-related germ infections have also consistently been associated with “diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.” (Oral Health in America: A Report of the Surgeon General, September 2000)

“While we have long known about the importance of hand washing, sanitizing kitchen work surface and utensils to avoid the spread of germs, one common culprit remains overlooked in our modern lifestyles: the toothbrush”- Maria Perno Goldie, RDH, MS, former president of American Dental Hygienists’ Association.
"A pair of moist toothbrushes left side by side in a medicine cabinet provides an ideal breeding ground for germs and viruses. Cold and flu viruses, even the bacteria that cause gingivitis, can travel from brush to brush." Dr. Richard T. Glass, DDS, PhD.
