only rx flouride is antibacterial.
use antibacterial dishsoap or hand soap with triclosan to clean your brush.and use antibacterial paste like colgate total with triclosan to brush with.

How Does Fluoride Kill Bacteria

fluoride does not kill the bacteria, there are detergents in the toothpaste that do that. Also you can buy toothpaste that have bacteria-killing substances (these are usually called like "complete" toothpastes.) If you have concerns about germs on toothbrushes (like you were sick or something), just throw it away and buy a new one. They aren't that expensive and your teeth and health are worth it. Oh, I think leaving toothpaste on your toothbrush although I see where you are going with this is not a good idea because of the mess, the toothpaste dripping off onto the sink & your toothbrush holder...also I think you kind of want your toothbrush to sort of dry out between brushings..nothing grows germs like a wet toothbrush!
