Your toothbrush is the primary instrument you need to keep your gums and teeth in tip-top shape. As you reach for your toothbrush at any time during the day, you may not realize what is festering on those bristles. Proper toothbrush maintenance is important in keeping your oral cavity clean and your optimal health in good shape. Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS, is here to tell you how to take good care of your toothbrush.
Toothbrushes are necessary to eliminate plaque that can lead to the destruction of our tooth enamel. Because a toothbrush is highly exposed to bacteria, it’s important to never share one with your significant other and you should always store them in a dry, open space. Appropriate toothbrush care and maintenance are necessary for a healthy oral hygiene routine. You should replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months or when bristles are frayed.
