If you knocked your toothbrush into the toilet?
Would you throw it away right then?
Or wash in some way or another? What would you consider a sufficient cleaning? |

It depends. How readily available is a new toothbrush and how desperately do you need to brush your teeth?

Was there anything in the toilet besides water? I might either just use mouhwash or bring toothpaste with me, pick up a new one on my way to work and brush when i got there.

In reality, I have a decent collection of unused toothbrushes around the apartment. My dentist gives me a new toothbrush every visit, and I have a few travel ones that came bundled with mouthwash or Plax laying around too. |

If I was using a regular toothbrush, I probably would throw it away. I use a Sonicare nowadays, so if I dropped the toothbrush attachment in the toilet, I wouldnt know what to do. Those brush heads are like $7-$10 to replace. Probably would convince myself to clean it really well.

You can get toothbrushes for a buck each. I'd pay that much not to put toilet in my mouth.
By the way, e. coli germs are deadly, and they live in your intestines, and come out in your poop. Just because you've flushed doesn't mean you've gotten rid of the germs, and some of those germs are literally deadly. Also, have you ever tried to disinfect your toothbrush? I do it once in a while. I soak it in rubbing alcohol. It takes a surprising amount of rinsing and time to get the alcohol completely gone. And that's alcohol, now, which evaporates very quickly. If the alcohol lingers even though it evaporates and can pour off, what do you think the toilet germs do? |
