Up to 3000 times more bacterial growth found on
hollow-head toothbrushes. Solid-head power toothbrushes retain less bacteria
compared to hollow-head toothbrushes. Toothbrushes can transmit microorganisms
that cause disease and infections. A solid-head design allows for less growth
of bacteria and bristles should be soft and made of nylon. It is also important
to disinfect and to let your toothbrush dry between uses. Some power
toothbrushes now include an ultraviolet system or you can soak the head in
mouthwash for 20 minutes.
The packaging on most power toothbrushes won't
distinguish between a hollow-head and a solid-head design. The best way to
identify a solid-head design is through the connection to the body of the power
toothbrush. Naturally, there will be some space to connect the two parts but a
significant portion will be solid, up to the bristles or brush head.
