When to replace your toothbrush
January 31, 2021
Unlike good wine, toothbrushes don't get better with age. Make sure you replace your toothbrush every three months, and more often in cases when it is looking worn with wear.
A toothbrush is an essential tool for keeping our teeth clean. It is recommended to change your toothbrush every 3-6 months or when it starts to show wear and tear. However, the time it takes for a toothbrush to lose its effectiveness can vary from person to person.
In order to know when you should replace your toothbrush, you need to know how often you brush your teeth and how long each brushing session lasts. If you brush twice a day for 2 minutes each time, then your toothbrush should last about 6 months before it needs replacing.
Investing in an electric toothbrush may be one of the best ways to improve your daily tooth hygiene. It can prevent tooth decay, bad breath and more, helping you avoid cavities and more.
Toothaches can be a minor irritation, or they can be an indication of something much more serious. If you're not quite sure how serious something is, get an appointment with us.
