A toothbrush cover is a protective enclosure designed to shield the bristles of a toothbrush from external contaminants, ensuring hygiene, especially during travel or storage.
While the American Dental Association (ADA) generally recommends storing toothbrushes upright and uncovered to allow for air drying and reduce bacterial growth, toothbrush covers are still widely used for travel and situations where cross-contamination is a concern, such as in shared bathrooms or public spaces. When using a cover, opting for one with good ventilation and ensuring the toothbrush is as dry as possible before covering it is recommended.
