Hands-On Research
I made my 6-year-old son a part of the product testing. He puts the brush heads into the sanitizer first thing in the morning and before brushing his teeth at night and pushes the button. Six minutes later, the brushes are ready to use!
I was skeptical about how I would tell that this product was working. I could see the UV light, but a pretty blue light does not mean dead germs. And if I don't see the results, I don't believe it!
The first thing I noticed was that my toothbrush had no "taste" when I put it in my mouth to brush: no taste of toothpaste, nor of mouth odor. Over the next week, I noticed something else. My teeth felt noticeably cleaner and smoother! From this experiment, our conclusion is that a cleaner toothbrush leads to cleaner teeth.
