LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- February is National Children's Dental Health Month (NCDHM) - a perfect time to encourage good oral hygiene for everyone in the family. The American Dental Association recommends brushing "two minutes, two times a day," but did you ever stop and wonder just how clean is the toothbrush you use every day and night?

According to Pediatric Dentist and mom Danielle Gilbert-Fowler, D.M.D. of Palm Tree Pediatric Dentistry: "You wouldn't clean your child with a dirty washcloth. Why clean their teeth with a dirty toothbrush? It's important to keep toothbrushes in a clean environment and separate from other family members toothbrushes. Use of a Steripod clip-on toothbrush protector will help keep your toothbrush clean and protect against cross contamination from other toothbrushes. Kids and adults alike should replace their toothbrush and Steripod every three months or more frequently after any illness – especially during cold and flu season this winter."
Environmental contamination from airborne particles is another potential risk - especially for anyone who pops their toothbrush into a backpack, school locker, gym bag or purse. Steripod is the perfect protective companion for busy families to use everyday, whether at home or on the go. Just clip it on any manual or electric toothbrush, and Steripod goes to work protecting your toothbrush. No cables or batteries are needed. Each Steripod contains thymol – found in many mouthwashes and oral antiseptics – to help keep your toothbrush fresh and clean for up to three months. Steripod is specially designed so air circulates freely and your toothbrush can dry naturally. Available in a rainbow of bright colors, Steripod is fun and easy for kids to use.

Dentist and mom Jamielynn Hanam-Jahr, DDS of Beverly Hills Aesthetic Dentistry, recommends Steripod to all of her patients. "I think Steripod is a great invention to help everyone keep their toothbrush fresh and clean and avoid cross contamination. When you're done brushing your teeth put it over your toothbrush and that way it stays clean and safe in your bathroom or out and about between uses."
