My toothbrush is 7 foot long, but just because yours is smaller than mine doesn't mean mine is any better. Be happy with the size of your toothbrush.

Is it possible to be exposed to Blood borne pathogens if you share a toothbrush?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's maybe 1% possible, if someone with a high HIV viral load (lots of HIV in their body) used the toothbrush and then you immediately used it AND you have cuts or bleeding gums, and the virus survived in the open air and got into your bloodstream.

Very very unlikely!
HIV does not live outside the human body, it dies shortly after being exposed to air. Sharing toothbrushes may carry other risks that warrant keeping your personal hygeine products "personal," but HIV transmission is of no risk.
no, hiv/ aids is only contracted through sexual intercourse and blood.
NO, absolutely not.
HIV virus dies very quickly outside the body so the chances are very low to zero
I am not a doctor, but I think you might be able to get HIV by sharing a toothbrush, simply because there could be bleeding gums or open mouth sores....
I don't think there is really an answer, but I'll keep looking.
No.

What are some features of the Phillips Sonicare toothbrush?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Philips Sonicare toothbrush, with soft bristle tips that vibrate at ultra-high speeds, has been clinically proven to clean 20% more plaque from the surface of your teeth than that of a manual toothbrush. Additionally, it also eliminates the guesswork involved with determining how long to brush, with its built-in timers, and the amount of pressure needed to adequately clean your teeth. This ultimately results in healthier gums and aids in the prevention of tooth and gum disease.

When do you need a new toothbrush?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Toothbrushes should be replaced as soon as the bristles show signs of wear, splay, fray or when the color indicator changes color. Generally, this is every 8 to 12 weeks. A worn toothbrush would not be able to clean as efficiently as a normal one.

When using a rechargeable electric toothbrush, it isn't necessary to press hard or scrub. Simply guide the brush while it provides the brushing action. In fact, some electric toothbrushes have pressure sensors that alert you when you're brushing too hard.

How many types of toothbrushes are there?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

+Incisors, Canines, Premolars, and Molars:+

+Incisors are for cutting and ingesting food, they are the front teeth.+

+Canines are for puncturing food (or dealing the deathblow on an animal if the canines belong a carnivore), they are that sharp pointy teeth that come after the incisors.+

+Premolars and Molars are used for processing the food and getting it ready to be digested in the stomach. Premolars are smaller than molars and have fewer bumps on them. These teeth types are different among different animals because the diets may be different and the teeth need to be able to digest the food the animal eats.
