A woman in Weinan accidentally swallowed an entire toothbrush, and the doctor removed it completely under an endoscope! Why can I swallow my toothbrush?

This is really a strange thing. A woman in Weinan accidentally swallowed the entire toothbrush. Later, the doctor took it out completely through an endoscope. Many netizens are curious, why can the toothbrush be swallowed whole? After all, you can control it when you are about to swallow. Brushing teeth is something that must be done every day, but being able to swallow a toothbrush is something that everyone doesn’t think about. Because this woman's toothbrush is relatively slippery, it is normal for the toothbrush to slide into her stomach.

When I was young, I saw that adults tended to tilt their heads up to rinse their mouths when brushing their teeth. Perhaps this woman swallowed the toothbrush because she tilted her head up to rinse her mouth. At this time, she was so panicked that she couldn't grab the toothbrush in time. Later, when I rushed to the hospital, the doctor also said that it was very troublesome to take out the toothbrush. After all, if it falls into the stomach and is mixed with a lot of food residue, it is very likely to be life-threatening. Fortunately, the doctor successfully removed the toothbrush through an endoscope without causing any harm to the woman's body.

Personally, I don’t think there is any danger in brushing your teeth. As long as you find the right method, you can stay away from these unnecessary troubles. Especially when brushing your teeth with your head tilted up, you can rinse your mouth directly with water. There is no need to put the entire toothbrush in your mouth. This incident also reminds everyone to avoid such dangers. Choose the right method so that you don't cause harm to yourself. If the woman had used a sharp toothbrush, it could have caused gastrointestinal puncture or even more serious consequences.

Brushing teeth is a good habit that has been developed since childhood. To keep teeth clean, children should also be educated on daily life. Try to choose a toothbrush that is more convenient to hold. Do not raise your head when rinsing your mouth. This can easily lead to danger. It is necessary to find out the most important knowledge to protect your teeth. The doctor's judgment at the time was also very worrying. The toothbrush was made of plastic, and the woman suffered a lot of pain trying to take it out. Fortunately, she overcame all risks after being frightened. This woman will definitely pay attention to how she brushes her teeth in the future.
