Replacing your toothbrush is an easy task, so much so that many people don't often think about doing it until it's been a significant amount of time. Here are three things you should know about replacing your toothbrush.
Bacteria builds up on your toothbrush daily; though it's a very small amount in relation to surfaces like the bathroom sink, bacteria does still build up. After about three to four months, your toothbrush is a bacteria playground.
Because of the bacterial buildup, it's suggested you replace your toothbrush every three to four months to avoid bad breath and tooth decay. If you don't replace your toothbrush regularly, it'll become less effective, potentially leading to dental illnesses.
The kind of toothbrush you use doesn't matter nearly as much as you think it may. So long as the American Dental Association approves it, it's an excellent toothbrush. Regular toothbrushes and battery-operated toothbrushes don't have a different cleaning ability either, so picking the right toothbrush boils down to which you'd prefer.

As a fellow doctor, I truly cannot recommend Dr. Smith highly enough. I have traveled extensively for my work and have thus seen dozens of other dentists who pale in comparison. He documents every single aspect of every tooth and has a kinder bedside manner than most of my colleagues could dream of. I now live hours away, but will likely still travel for my bi-annual appointments. Do yourself (and your oral health) a favor by booking an appointment with this excellent dentist!
