How effective is a UV toothbrush sanitizer?
Yes, sanitizers do work. It is important, however, to understand the terminology. "Sanitize" is different from "sterilize." When something is sanitized, the majority of microorganisms are killed. When something is sterilized, all organisms are killed, including all spores and virus. While toothbrush sanitizers do not sterilize, they still serve an important function, particularly if your toothbrush is stored near someone else's toothbrush, and if it is stored in a bathroom. Studies have shown that bathroom surfaces are loaded with bacteria even in 'clean' bathrooms. Every time a toilet is flushed, millions of microorganisms are released into the room, and they eventually settle on counter tops, towels, hairbrushes, and toothbrushes. If the surface happens to be moist, it becomes a breeding ground for these microorganisms. Toothbrush sanitizers work by exposing the toothbrush to UV light, which kills most microorganisms. The heat dries the toothbrush as well. Also, they typically cover the toothbrush, protecting it from exposure to airborne microorganisms. Even with the use of a UV sanitizer, it is still recommended to replace your toothbrush following an illness like a cold or flu.
