Dentists recommend changing toothbrush after recovering from Covid-19; find out why

Coronavirus infections are spreading in India at an alarming rate, and it is now well evidenced that a person can be re-infected after having recovered once. While vaccines have proven to be effective as a preventive measure, experts are of the view that even they can't guarantee 100 per cent protection in all situations, at all times.

Dentists are of the view that a person who has recently recovered from Covid-19 should immediately change their toothbrush upon recovery. This, they say, not only protects the person from chances of re-infection but can also save others who use the same washroom in the house.
