Change Your Toothbrush In A Month Or Two

We suggest changing traditional toothbrush every three months, but this period is an absolute maximum. In certain circumstances it is advisable to change the toothbrush more often:

When you are sick.

If your immune system is weakened or disrupted.

If the toothbrush is showing signs of wear (the hairs are no longer parallel and straight, for example).

Properly store your toothbrush.

Thoroughly rinse your toothbrush after you brush your teeth and keep it in a safe place so that it doesn’t get bacteria from air.

The toothbrush should be stored vertically with the head up, not lying on a surface where the bacteria could multiply.

Also avoid cases that cover the heads of the toothbrushes, they are favorable to bacteria. Humidity is the friend of germs, it is important that your toothbrush can dry completely between brushings.

Brushing Help to Protect Teeth

To decrease the amount of bacteria on your toothbrush, you can also use a mouthwash before antibacterial brush, but you simply brush your teeth carefully twice a day. Indeed, the fewer bacteria in your mouth, the less he will stay on your brush teeth after brushing ... That makes sense.

Bacteria and our oral health

The bacteria play a dual role in our oral health. They are an enemy because their excessive multiplication leads to the development of plaque, gum disease and various infections. That said, it is not useful to get paranoid: our mouth is expected to collect many bacteria when we eat, and she has many defenses that normally prevent us doing too much harm.

If your toilet is located in the bathroom, remember to remove the most of your toothbrush toilet.
