4 questions about toothbrushes

Hello fellow lotter, I agree with music about replacing the toothbrush every 6 months, but you should also replace it any time you get sick, especially colds such as strep. I would assume the effectiveness would wear out if you use it longer, perhaps because of the germs and bacteria. I also heard that you can boi; your toothbrush to eliminate some of the germs, but you still need to replace it.

In those cases, yes, the bristles usually lose rigidity over time and you should probably replace them. There are some toothbrushes that are better, yes, because of the placement of the bristles. I can't really recommend anything because I've always figured the difference is marginal at best. Don't quote me on that. ...I might get one of those toothbrushes that have a back to brush the tongue with. Supposedly it's the bacteria on the tongue that results in bad breath.

Of course it is not good to use one toothbrush for a whole year. The dentist suggests that we should change a new toothbrush every three months. And actually today some toothbrush will have a design and shows you that it is time for you to change a new toothbrush.

I think the famous dental brand will be better because they are professional in this field. I especially like to buy Oral-B products. I love China

I think our older methods have its own values as compare with the new techniques and technologies.

hello olonam, in regards to your question about how long one should use a tooth brush, it is dependent on the brushing habit and the wear and tear of your toothbrush. if you are applying a lot of pressure while brushing, which is certainly not advisable, you would ruin the brush bristles pretty soon and hence you might need to replace your brush more frequently like in a month or so. on the other hand if you are more careful with your brushing habits, your brush will last longer. you need to keep a watch over your brush. your brush itself will tell you when do you need to replace it. normally it is advisable to replace the brushes every 3-6 months. after a certain period of time the bristles become hard and they can damage your gum tissue. more so, flared bristles do not clean the teeth properly. at that point, you need to replace it. there are two different kind of brushes, one with medium bristles and the other with soft bristles. soft one is better as it would impose no harm on either your teeth or gum tissue. hope i sorted your querry

Don't use the same toothbrush for a whole year. Bacteria will accumulate on it gradually. I'd recommend you change your toothbrush at least once every three months.
