Where is the safest/healthiest place to store your toothbrush?!
Question: The best place for your toothbrush is anywhere but your bathroom. Think about it. Unless your toilet and shower is in another closed room with adequate ventilation, you are exposing your tooth brush to coloform and fecalform bacteria. You are also exposing your brush to whatever bacteria other people leave behind (Ooh! a pun).
Buy one of those brush holders with holes so your brush will dry. Rinse and remove as much water as possible and keep it in a clean drawer. It will dry sufficiently between uses.
Replace the brush if you have any type of respiratory condition and replace it every two or three months as a matter of good sanitation.

Place it anywhere that will allow it to dry completely before your next use.
on your dresser, that's where mine is.
it may sound childish but crayola makes these toothbrushes that have suction cups on them which u can stick anywere. those are realy easy to store and they wont even get dirty.
If you have a container that you can close, fill the bottom with Hydrogen Peroxide up to a level that covers the bristles. You could also use a ten percent salt water solution in place of the peroxide. Rinse before and after using. Also, any toothbrush should be replaced every four to six months or especially following a case of viral flu or any infectious oral condition.
You can use a travel cover and put it in you medicine cabinet. Also, close the lid when you flush the toilet. Droplets of bacteria do disperse into the air with every flush. Closing the lid prevents a lot of contamination.
You can also soak your toothbrush in peroxide and rinse it with boiling water to sanitize it. Throw it away every 3 months or after recovering from a cold or virus so you don't reinfect yourself.
