LOS ANGELES — Bonfit America Inc. is spotlighting its Steripod toothbrush protector for National Children’s Dental Health Month, held in February by the American Dental Association.

Steripod toothbrush protectorThe clip-on Steripod protector fits any standard or electronic toothbrush. Each Steripod sports a patented design and contains thymol — found in many mouthwashes and oral antiseptics — to help the toothbrush fresh and clean for up to three months, according to Bonfit America. Users just have to simply clip on the device to their brush, and it’s protected.

Unlike other UV toothbrush sanitizer products, Steripod uses patented “active vapors” to help keep toothbrushes smelling fresh and clean, Bonfit America noted. The product’s thymol compound is encapsulated in plastic with small holes that allow its vapors to escape and surround the brush bristles. The entire Steripod comes sealed in a medical quality enclosure, ensuring that the compound isn’t activated before the protector is unwrapped.

“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,” stated pediatric dentist Danielle Gilbert-Fowler of Palm Tree Pediatric Dentistry. “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.”

Toothbrushes also can be subject to environmental contamination from airborne particles, particularly when a brush is put into a backpack, school locker, gym bag or purse, Bonfit America added. Steripod provides a portable solution for busy families to use everyday, whether at home or on the go, the company said.

Dentist Jamielynn Hanam-Jahr 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,” she commented. “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.”

Steripod carries a suggested retail price of $5.99 for a two-pack. The product is available at major retailers nationwide, including Bed Bath & Beyond, Duane Reade, Target, Walgreens and Walmart, as well as online at Amazon.

Bonfit America also offers the Steripod Razorpod, a clip-on protector for razors designed to keep the blades clean and protect users from cutting their fingers.
