Mother Does Not Always Know Best

by Ruth Walby

This generation of mothers knows so much more about caring for their families than mothers in the past. They know specific facts on specific topics that mothers from the last few generations gave only a passing thought to.
Mothers in this informed generation are now reading more books and articles, the media is covering more consumer subjects and of course there's the Internet where Mom can research just about any topic that comes into her head.
One of these topics is health. Mom has learned that it's a must to have a healthy mouth as well as a health body. She has learned about bacteria in the mouth and how important the mouth is to whole body health. She has learned that specific bacteria are responsible for cavities, gum disease and some diseases of the body. She has learned that these bacteria have been shown to have links between reoccurring infections like colds, flu and strep throat and chronic infections like heart disease, stroke, diabetic complications, respiratory problems, pancreatic cancer, premature childbirth and low birth weight babies.

Today's Mom knows that to rid the mouth of germs you need to brush your teeth at least twice a day. She knows she needs to replace her family's toothbrushes with new ones every 3-4 months.
But what she doesn't know is that 4 out of 5 of these brand new toothbrushes straight out of the package are already contaminated with thousands of bacteria!
Modern Mom doesn't know that each time a member of her family brushes their teeth with their new toothbrush, they are allowing germs and bacteria full access to their mouth, their gums and the bloodstream of their body via that toothbrush. And that each time a member of her family reuses their new toothbrush in the weeks ahead, they are brushing daily with 10,000,000 new growth bacteria in the bristles of that toothbrush.
Now that Modern Mom has learned these horrifying facts she wants to protect her family. She begins to search for a solution and she finds one.
STEAM! The same thing that hospitals and doctors have used for years to sterilize their own equipment because they have known that steam kills bacteria and stops their re-growth until the next usage.
Modern Mom researches a little more and finds a product that generates a continuous germ killing steam that efficiently wipes out greater than 99.9999% of all germs tested and has its own germ-free storage system.
Modern Mom is ecstatic! She heaves a sigh of relief knowing that she can now rest with one less worry, assured with the knowledge that she has protected her family's health a little more because their toothbrushes are now sanitized and germ-free.
Now, Modern Mom does know best!
