Nobody wants a dirty toothbrush, but how many of us are storing our brush in a sanitary way?

According to the ADA, the best way to keep a toothbrush is upright in a container out in the open. This allows the brush to dry and air out. For best results, ensure your brush doesn't touch others and keep it at least 6 feet away from a toilet.
