KAThere is a new warning for all people who use electric toothbrushes.
Hundreds of people are finding mold growing inside their electric toothbrushes.
Most people think an electric toothbrush cleans better and more effectively.
But what most people don't realize is that the way these handles are designed creates the perfect breeding ground for mold.
Electric toothbrush handles have internal chambers, rubber seals, and small gaps around the power button and charging port.
Every time you brush, water gets in.
It cannot always get back out.
That trapped moisture in a warm bathroom breeds mold inside the sealed handle that you have no access to.
People who have cut open their Oral-B and Philips Sonicare handles after a year or two of use have found significant mold growth inside.
You are pressing that handle against your mouth for two minutes, twice a day, every day.
There is also a secondary issue with newer Bluetooth-enabled models.
Smart toothbrushes with app connectivity emit a Bluetooth signal at 2.4 GHz while you are brushing.
That signal is active and transmitting within inches of your face for two minutes every morning and every night.
But the solution is simple. Just switch back to a normal toothbrush. It cleans just as well as electric ones.
