Replacing Toothbrushes After You Are Sick
With cold and flu season coming along make sure to replace everyone's toothbrush after a bout of cold or something. (not overly frugal to keep replacing a toothbrush, but that is still cheaper then ongoing Dr. bills) some people say to just boil the toothbrushes also.

After having a cold or flu, I always pour rubbing alcohol over the brush part of my toothbrush, let it set for a couple minutes, then rinse well.

I always stick my toothbrushes and mouth rinse cup in the dishwasher everytime I run it. This way I make sure it all gets sanitized at least 2-3 times a week.
Variations
Replace Toothbrush After Illness
I'm sure most people have been told by doctors to throw out your toothbrush after you've had strep throat. I decided that is good practice to throw it out after a virus, the flu, or any bacterial infection, so that you are not re-infecting yourself. It just makes good sense to me.

Once you try the above variations, be sure to come back and give a "thumbs up" to the one that worked the best for you. Do you have a better variation?
