How often should I change my toothbrush?
May 7th, 2021
It's great practice to brush your teeth
at least twice a day, floss, and rinse your
toothbrush with water after every use.
Rinsing your toothbrush often helps you to
minimize the accumulation of bacteria and residue.
You may very well know you need to and do
change your child's toothbrush,
but how often should one change out a toothbrush?
Answer: We should change our toothbrush around every 3-4 months
