A toothbrush has a lifespan. And changing it only when you remember is not the best solution.
Here are a few signs that it’s time to replace your toothbrush:
— Three months have passed since it started to be used. Research shows that after this period, the bristles wear out and their effectiveness decreases. That’s why most dentists agree that your toothbrush should be replaced every three months..
— Hairs grow in all directions. In this case, the brush can no longer perform its function. Protruding bristles do not clean microbial plaques and do not penetrate into hard-to-reach places. They can also damage the gums and delicate mucous membrane of the oral cavity. Even if you have been using the brush for less than three months, it is useful to replace it.
— You have had a cold or ARVI. Once it has healed, you will need to change your toothbrush to prevent re-infection. The fact is that hairs can hide harmful bacteria that can cause the corresponding reaction in the body.
If you brush your teeth with an old brush, you may encounter cavities and mucosal diseases over time. Therefore, it must be replaced in time.
