🦷 How UV-C Light in Toothbrushes Kills Bacteria Instantly
Think brushing your teeth removes all bacteria? Think again.While traditional toothbrushes clean the surface of your teeth, millions of microscopic bacteria often remain — and worse, toothbrushes themselves can become breeding grounds for germs.
That’s where UV-C light changes the game.
A UV-C toothbrush uses ultraviolet light at a very specific wavelength (between 260 and 280 nanometers) to destroy bacteria, viruses, and fungi at the molecular level. It breaks down their DNA, rendering them inactive and unable to reproduce. This technology is used in hospitals — and now, it’s built right into your toothbrush.
In the nanoOne® smart toothbrush, UV-C light is activated automatically during the 5-second brushing session. While the 76 micro-brushes clean your teeth, the UV-C light helps eliminate bacteria from your mouth and the brush head in real time.
But it doesn’t stop there.
After brushing, nanoOne sterilizes itself again using UV-A and UV-B light, ensuring that it’s 100% clean for the next use — with zero effort from you.
This isn’t just about cleaning teeth. It’s about bringing clinical-level hygiene into your daily routine — fast, smart, and touchless.
Try nanoOne® and feel the difference that true sterilization makes.
