How often you change your toothbrush?

It always depends on you....that how you feel comfortable using the same old toothbrush. It also depends on how often you brush your teeth a day. Adults and children should change their toothbrush every 3 months because they become worn out and are not as effective as they once were. Exceptions to this would be if you use electronic toothbrush. and the manufactures sate otherwise. Some electronic rechargeable toothbrushes have very good brush heads that only need to be changed every 6 months. if you have gum disease, you should change your toothbrush every 4-6 weeks because bacteria can harbor in the bristles. You should always rinse you toothbrush with hot water after every use and change it after you have been sick.

Hi Meeksilent, In my case, I change my toothbrush every 3 months because they become worn out and are not as effective as when they were new. Except when you're using an electronic toothbrush which I think has longer "service life". Maybe every 6 months. When you're wearing braces, I would say every 1-2 months. While when you have gum disease 4-6 weeks.

well if its getting frizzy then this is the time i changed it.

I change my toothbrush every 3 months. If it falls on the floor I have to change it immediately because I get freaked out about any germs that may be on the bathroom floor. I once purchased 100 toothbrushes wholesale and used a new toothbrush everyday. It felt really nice to be able to have a brand new toothbrush on a daily basis. I believe the recomended time between new brushes is 4 months. Hope this helps.

I change my troothbrush around 5 times a year cus i toothcleaning my tooths 3 times a day i think that's important

I dont follow a strict time limit for its use.I use it till its bristles are bent outwards and injure the gums.

changing toothbrushes would have to be on a 6 month period right? well i think if the brush needs to be changed even prior to that, we do change it already at home too. sometimes the brushes have indicators in them too so there.. we kind of rely on that as well. =)

I change ours out every 3 months. If we happen to get sick I change them out sooner. I never buy the terribly expensive tooth brushes. I always buy the packs with at least 3 or more in them. This is easier on the purse strings.

i try to change it with an 5 mouths

This is not a matter of asking how often? I would say how regularly you change your tooth brass. Dentists are of the opinion that no tooth brass lass more than six months. Now I have made it a point that I changed my things within four months.

I am not actually particular with that kind of thing. I only changed my toothbrush once I find it no longer comfortable to brush my teeth. So it actually takes more than 3 months before I change my toothbrush.

hi meeeksilent, i change my tooth brush once in a month, thats what i got advice from doctor when i got tooth ace .....

I change mine & hubby's toothbrush every 2-3 months, i use the old ones for cleaning in all the fiddly bits you cannot get into.

Hello dear To change tooth brush, its depends upon your tooth brush quality and the way to use it. Not simply to change it .

when brush my teeth were damaged replace with new new so I could replace up to six months or a year involves expenditure savings as well, because I also always use the same toothbrush and should not be anyone wear them because of health concerns

when my tootbrush starts to have an unruly bristles (don't know the proper term)..haha i replace it, the brittles will damage my gums with they stats to tear..

Hi, I don't have a specific time on how long I will change my toothbrush,When it started to get out of shape,then only I will change my toothbrush. From my point of view, it is best to change toothbrush every 6 month for hygiene reason. But do I make it??? Don't think so. My current toothbrush has been with me for more than 6 months,and the shape still Ok, so I am still using it everyday. To keep my teeth clean and fresh, I brush my teeth twice a day.

Hi, I always change my toothbrush monthly. 3 months is too long, I think. Best wishes,

Every 3 months or when bristles are no longer in sync with one another (whichever comes first). They have to be in sync so that they can effectively clean. Besides, we need to change because we don't know what germs lurks in between bristles. If we keep on using them beyond this time frame, we might endanger our teeth and gums instead of making them clean and healthy.

you should clean your teeth ever day you know becuase if you dont then they are going to fall out it is all up to you and life i have change my tooth brtsuh about 3 times a year i think it is all to how you do it it depends on the fact on how you do it you know if you want to change once a year then it is up to you two do that thats all i 'am syaing about that so tske care
