Brushtox is very quick and easy to use -

just rinse ... spray ... and your toothbrush is clean and germ-free!

Scientific research has shown that within two days a new toothbrush becomes infected with potentially disease-producing bacteria, viruses and fungi, some of which remain alive and multiply on a toothbrush for hours and even days, and re-using a toothbrush carries the risk of re-infection with the organisms capable of causing tooth decay, gum disease and a variety of other health problems.

The toothbrushes, even of the healthy individuals, should be disinfected on a daily basis to help prevent re-infection and cross infection, as part of a total oral hygiene programme.

SUGGESTED USE FOR BRUSHTOX

Use of Brushtox is indicated on a daily basis to help maintain good oral health and fight tooth decay but it is especially indicated in the treatment of conditions where re-infection from the toothbrush is likely to exacerbate the problem, such as:-

All oral infections:-

1. Gingivitis
2. Periodontal disease
3. Cold sores and similar infections
4. Mouth ulcers
5. Oral thrush (especially in the case of denture wearers)

The bacteria involved in the cause of tooth decay (dental caries), gum disease (gingivitis) and periodontal disease are readily transferred from individuals to toothbrushes, together with other more serious infections, including colds and 'flu, cold sores, oral thrush ( Candida alibcans ) and gastro-enteritis.

Upper respiratory tract infections:-

1. Coughs and colds
2. Sore throats

Preventing re-infection and cross-infection is particularly important for the medically compromised and this is a very serious issue. In the case of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, organ transplants and immunosuppressive therapy (together with the elderly) the *immune systems fails to work normally and affected individuals are at increased risk of infection from all sources, including their own toothbrush.

Immuno-compromised patients:-

1. Chemotherapy
2. Radiotherapy
3. AIDS patients

The frail and elderly, who have reduced resistance to infection;

* Athletes of all disciplines will also benefit from using Brushtox to keep their toothbrush clean because excessive exercise and dieting lowers the immune system and leaves the athlete prone to infections. Racehorse jockeys in particular, with the need to keep their weight down but maintain a very high level of fitness benefit from using Brushtox.
