How often should I replace my toothbrush?

It’s a simple question, but many people are surprised by the answer.

A toothbrush doesn’t last forever. As the bristles become worn, they become less effective at removing plaque from your teeth and along the gumline.

As a general guide, replacing your toothbrush every three months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed, can help you maintain better oral hygiene. It’s also a good idea to replace it after recovering from illnesses like the flu.

Good brushing habits, regular dental check-ups, and professional cleanings all work together to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
