Yeah. Just as the brush should be changed after a cold, any stomach condition that caused nausea or vomiting should also be changed after having Covid 19. Toothbrushes, in themselves, should be changed frequently, since, during use, the The bristles become worn, open and damaged, which severely injures the gums and can cause processes that affect the supporting tissues of the teeth, exposing the roots and causing tooth sensitivity. Likewise, they are collectors of microorganisms.
Not only viruses, bacteria or fungi that could come into contact with the brush during brushing, but, in general, most of the brushes are in sinks or next to them in bathrooms, and it goes without saying, the amount of bacteria found in the environment of a toilet. The ideal is to have the brushes covered in a toothbrush holder or something similar, which, although it does not prevent the contact of microorganisms from the environment with the brushes, has been shown to greatly reduce the growth of microorganisms on them.
I do not want to say that it is essential to keep toothbrushes outside the toilets, although it is true that in bathrooms there are more microorganisms in the environment than in other spaces, everywhere there are harmful microorganisms in the environment, and that is where The body's immune (defense) system comes into action. If a person has an autoimmune condition, it is recommended to change the brush more frequently, use toothbrush holders and, if possible, not store the brush in toilets. What brush is ideal? It will depend on each case, the shape and size of the head, the type of bristles, generally we recommend soft or ultra soft bristles, which are friendlier to the gums, but each case is special and the brush will be recommended by the specialist. time to do the assessment and cleaning.
