Is Your Toothbrush Home To Millions of Bacteria?

A recent study conducted at England’s University of Manchester concluded that a single, uncovered toothbrush can harbor more than 10 million bacteria– including E. coli, staphylococci (“staph”), and many others that most people would definitely not want to put into their mouth on a daily basis. 

So, why does this happen?

There are a handful of contributing factors that make your toothbrush the ideal breeding ground for all types of germs and bacteria– and none of them are all that fun to think about.

The Toilet

The unfortunate truth is that every time you flush the toilet, the toilet is spraying germs, bacteria, and human waste into the air. Because most bathroom vanities are situated very close to the toilet, that puts the toothbrush in the “splash zone” to catch this plume of bacteria. 

The Moisture

The moisture left on toothbrush bristles helps to promote and enhance the growth of mold, mildew, and other bacteria. This is also why leaving your toothbrush in an unventilated drawer or medicine cabinet to protect it from toilet bacteria may actually be even worse than leaving it out in the open. Bacteria loves moisture, and keeping your brush enclosed makes it even more difficult for the bristles to dry quickly and fully.

So, what can be done?

There are a handful of common tactics to try and help mitigate the growth of germs and bacteria on your toothbrush– things like keeping it rinsed, letting it dry, storing it upright, and replacing it whenever you get sick. None of these tactics, however, really suffice to solve the problem– which is why we decided to reinvent the toothbrush from the ground up.

Introducing The World’s Cleanest Toothbrush– The UMMA Diamond Sonic Toothbrush System

Protects

UMMA’s innovative, patented base station started with one primary goal– to protect the brush head against external germs and bacteria (like the ones that shoot into the air whenever the toilet flushes). UMMA’s base station wraps around your brush head and acts as a shield against those airborne nasties. 

Sanitizes

Once we solved the problem of new bacteria being introduced to the brush head, it was time to address the germs that were already on the brush head. UMMA’s built-in 360 degree halo UV-C bulb has been lab-proven to eliminate 99.9% of germs and bacteria– and it automatically activates every time you use your toothbrush. 

Dries

As soon as the sanitization cycle has finished, UMMA’s heated fan dryer kicks into gear– speeding up the already efficient process of drying the upside-down docked toothbrush.

Charges

To add another level of convenience, UMMA’s base station also charges your brush handle automatically every time the brush is placed into the docking station. 

The Power of Sonic

With all of the advanced technology packed into UMMA’s base station, it felt necessary to equip the handle itself with the most powerful brushing technology available– sonic vibration. UMMA’s sonic motor delivers up to 40,000 brush strokes per minute (as opposed to the 300 or so you get with a manual toothbrush), leaving you with that “fresh from the dentist” clean feeling– every time you brush. 

UMMA’s four zone timer takes the guesswork out of making sure you evenly brush your entire mouth for the right amount of time– every time. 

Sensitive Teeth? No Problem

UMMA is equipped with two brushing modes– Super and Sensitive Clean. The Super Clean mode is the most powerful, robust brushing experience UMMA offers, while the Sensitive Clean mode has been carefully tailored to suit anyone with tooth or gum sensitivity issues.
