An expert has issued a warning over a surprisingly common practice.
From tooth decay to gum disease, and even the spreading of serious illnesses, a chief orthodontist has warned against sharing a toothbrush with your partner, no matter how "tempting" it may be. Whether accidental or intentional, it can lead to your mouth being exposed to a 'whole host of nasty things', the Daily Express reports.
Dr Khaled Kasem, Chief Orthodontist of European leading orthodontic chain Impress said: "Whether intentional or accidental, using someone else’s toothbrush can expose your teeth, gums, and mouth to a whole host of nasty things, especially if they’re not as into their oral health routine as you are. We’d always recommend using your own toothbrush."
