Holli was shocked because she assumed all married people shared a toothbrush.

“We’re kissing, so I’m like, ‘What the heck?'” she said.
The next That same day, Holli went to the dentist and asked the hygienist if sharing a toothbrush was bad.

Dentist-approved teeth whitening tips
ERIN Fraundorf, DMD, MSD, owner of BOCA Orthodontics + Whitening Studio in Missouri, shared her top tips for whiter teeth.
Seek whitening treatment from a professional. It is often stronger and the most effective, so you don’t waste your money on a product that doesn’t work or could harm you. You also only get one set of teeth, so it’s best not to experiment with them.
Think about the cause of the staining. There are numerous causes that can cause teeth to take on a yellow or brown tint. Make sure you get assessed and diagnosed by a professional to ensure you get the best treatment for your spots. Not all stains are the same, so different treatments may be required.
Consider your lifestyle, smile goals and budget. When choosing a whitening treatment that is best for you, consider several factors when designing a customized plan. Some people like to do homework at-home whitening, some prefer in-office treatments only, some need to get really bright really quickly – for a wedding, for example – while others like a gentler, gradual, consistent approach to whitening.
Take it easy. Start integrating teeth whitening into your routine gradually to get your teeth used to it and you can closely monitor your sensitivity level to control how often you can whiten.
Try to avoid. Make small changes to your lifestyle to prevent stains from getting into your teeth. For example, drink staining drinks through a straw, rinse with plain water after drinking something that contains stains, and choose still water over sparkling water whenever possible.
Water silk helps with stains between the teeth. Remove stubborn stains between your teeth with a water flosser, because toothbrush bristles can only reach a limited part of your tooth surface.
“I replace mine like every month.”
A second person said: “Honestly, if we were on holiday and I couldn’t get a toothbrush if I forgot mine, I wouldn’t brush for a whole week before using his.
“I’d use my finger or something.”
A third person said: “We don’t even share toothpaste.”
A fourth person added: “I don’t even leave his toothbrush in the same cup as mine.”
