Is it unhealthy to share a toothbrush?!


Question: Here's the thing, I keep my toothbrush in my bedroom, and well... I lost it. So, I ended up having to use my parent's toothbrush. I'm kind of unsure, because the toothbrush was in their mouth, and I was wondering, is it unhealthy to share a toothbrush???

The mouth is the most dirtiest part of the body, your toothbrush cleans away bacteria and plaque. Diseases are spread by bacteria and your toothbrush has that on there so when you share a toothbrush, bacteria is being spread from the original user to you.

Very unhealthy and Unheigenic

YES!!! Very much so! Stop that!

of course its unhealthy... its like sharing ones' bacterias....

yeah buddy...it's not only unhealthy i guess, but it's also wrong in terms of hygiene

Ew you should never share somethings that has been inside someones else mouth. A new tooth brush is highly inexpensive.

HOW THE HELL CAN YOU SHARE A TOOTHBRUSH?????
It sure is unhealthy!!

yes.........its because when your parents have a cough or anything it might transfer to you... so be wise not to use again the others property....if they not yours!..

its almost as safe as drinking out of the toilet

Yeah - don't do that. You could be spreading bacteria.
Buy a new toothbrush dude.

wow that is really gross. but if you had rinsed it prior to using it that might be a little less gross.
