Family members do not want to share toothpaste

Some seemingly trivial habits may hide huge health risks. Many families are accustomed to sharing a toothpaste with the whole family, but they do not know that this practice may lead to cross-infection of oral diseases. If a member of the family catches a cold or suffers from oral disease, cold viruses and oral bacteria may remain in the gaps between toothbrush bristles during brushing. When the toothpaste nozzle rubs against the toothbrush, these viruses and bacteria can be transferred to other family members' toothbrushes. As a result, otherwise healthy family members may become infected with these pathogens, leading to oral disease.

It is best for everyone to have their own toothpaste. On the one hand, this can avoid cross-infection of oral diseases caused by sharing toothpaste among family members. On the other hand, using your own toothpaste also allows everyone to choose the toothpaste that suits them based on their oral health. In this way, you can not only prevent oral diseases but also maintain oral health.
