A change of season is the perfect time to change your toothbrush! It is recommended that you change your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months, or as sooner if the bristles are starting to fray!
Why is it important to change your toothbrush?
As bristles on your toothbrush become frayed they
loose their effectiveness and your brushing results won’t be as effective. A new brush can remove more plaque than
one that’s worn out, ensuring your efforts to keep your teeth clean won’t be wasted.
Another key time to invest in a new toothbrush is after being sick. Using a toothbrush doesn’t kill the bacteria in your mouth, so after being ill it’s important to replace your brush to ensure you stay healthy!
If you want to get the maximum life out of your tooth brush purchase a plastic case for it when you travel. It will prevent your brush from being squashed or flattened in your travelling kit.
