We have never once considered washing our toothbrush with soap and water.

Toothpaste is a cleaning agent after all, so brushing our teeth every night is in effect cleaning our toothbrush anyway, right?


We like to think so at least, but a doctor is going viral on TikTok after advising that we should all add washing our toothbrush with soap to our nighttime routines.

Dr. Joe, M.D. as he is known on TikTok said in his video that washing our toothbrush with soap every night will cut down on bacteria and viral growth.

Dr. Joe also advised to soak your toothbrush in hydrogen peroxide or antibacterial mouthwash about "once a week."
