    The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends replacing your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed or worn. By replacing your toothbrush every three to four months, you can ensure that you are using a clean, effective tool to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent dental problems. There are a few key signs that it may be time to replace your toothbrush: Frayed or worn bristles: If the bristles on your toothbrush look frayed or worn, it may be time to replace the brush. Frayed bristles are less effective at cleaning the teeth and gums, and can even cause damage to the mouth if they are too rough. Recent illness: If you have recently been sick, it is a good idea to replace your toothbrush to help prevent the spread of illness. Damage to the toothbrush: If your toothbrush has become damaged in any way, such as by being dropped or chewed, it is best to replace it. A damaged toothbrush may not clean the teeth and gums effectively, and could potentially cause harm to the mouth. Click the link below to our Amazon store for our Subscribe and Save discount.
