When You Need To Change Your Toothbrush

A toothbrush is considered the main means of personal hygiene, since the health of not only the teeth, but also the entire oral cavity depends on it. However, many people forget to change the brush on time.

A toothbrush is considered the main means of personal hygiene, as the health of not only the teeth, but also the entire oral cavity depends on it. However, many people forget to change the brush on time.

Experts claim that the brush becomes unusable in three months. However, the issue is not in its condition, but because the brush accumulates too many bacteria during this period.

Dentists explain this by the fact that toothbrushes are usually stored in the bathroom, where humidity is usually high. In such conditions, the rate of spread of microorganisms increases rapidly.

It is also worth heeding the advice that the toothbrush must be changed after every cold, since viral bacteria do not die to the end, but remain on the bristles.

Experts also note that in a few months the bristles wear out to such an extent that they practically stop removing tartar and other formations.
