In a viral video, he highlighted common everyday essentials that, if neglected, could pose serious health risks. He specifically pointed out toothbrushes, razors, and mouthwash as culprits that need urgent attention.

Dr. Sethi began by listing the “three worst bathroom items” that should be discarded without delay. Topping the list was the toothbrush. He revealed that a staggering 75% of people continue using their toothbrushes beyond the recommended three-month period. Over time, toothbrushes lose up to 30% of their cleaning efficiency, and worse, the bristles become a breeding ground for bacteria, potentially harming oral health.
