This
is a seriously fantastic product. If you're prone to the kinds of
recurring infections that cause colds, bronchitis, sinus problems,
strep throat and the like, this toothbrush should really help.
What
you need to understand about your current toothbrush is this:
Every
time
you put your toothbrush in your mouth, the bristles touch all the
bacteria living in there. That bacteria remains on your toothbrush
even if you rinse it in scalding tap water, and the bacteria just sits
there between brushings, growing and multiplying. Every time you brush
your teeth, the bacteria that's been happily colonizing on your
toothbrush gets re-introduced to your mouth. Then, as you brush, more
bacteria from your mouth is deposited back onto your toothbrush. Yuck!
But when you think about it, it's easy to see why you get sick over and
over: you're re-infecting yourself with your own toothbrush!

Silver Kills Germs & Heals Wounds
But
is it a good toothbrush? Will it clean your teeth as well as a regular
nylon brush?
Actually,
because the bristles of the Silver Care toothbrush are made of
microfiber, it cleans teeth much more effectively that a nylon-bristled
toothbrush. The microfiber bristles are "grabby" but gentle, and are
able to pick up more of the plaque and general yuck off your teeth than
a regular nylon head.
Is
the Silver Care toothbrush worth the money?
Yes! The
Norwex Silver Care Plus toothbrush comes with 2 heads, and lasts a full
year. Even if you are very hard on your toothbrushes, one head will
last the full six months. Bristle head refills are available in
packages of 2.
NOTE: Silver does not contain nickel and is not
an alloy. It does not leach at all nor
does it come off the brush.
Silver is considered to be hypo-allergenic.
Is the Silvercare Toothbrush safe for young children to use?
Norwex
has issued a statement regarding this question:
"Hazard
Identified
As
a result of the investigation into complaint received on February 6,
2008 where the improper use of the toothbrush led to the swallowing of
the removable head. A health hazards evaluation determined that the
device may pose a possible choking or swallowing hazard to children
under three or individuals that would normally require supervision or
assistance while brushing their teeth. Norwex has determined that a
warning should be added to prevent reoccurrence of such an incident.
The warning label will read
This product is not intended for
individuals requiring assistance brushing their teeth. Not recommended
for children under 3."
