Unlike Good Wine, Toothbrushes Don’t Get Better With Age
We all know that some things improve over time—like a good bottle of wine. But your toothbrush? Unfortunately, that’s not one of them!

To keep your smile healthy, it’s important to replace your toothbrush every three months. Over time, the bristles start to bend, fray, and wear out. A worn-out toothbrush simply can’t clean your teeth as well as it should, which means plaque and bacteria get left behind.

Signs It’s Time for a New Toothbrush

Even if you haven’t hit the three-month mark yet, there are times when your toothbrush should be replaced sooner:

• Frayed or bent bristles – They can’t reach between teeth effectively.
• Discoloration – Bacteria and buildup can cause bristles to look dingy.
• After an illness – Germs can linger on your toothbrush and reinfect you.

If your toothbrush is looking tired, it’s definitely time for a fresh one!

A Simple Habit for a Healthier Smile

Think of your toothbrush as your smile’s best friend. A small change, like replacing it regularly, can make a big difference in your oral health. Fresh bristles help remove plaque more effectively, reduce your risk of gum disease, and keep your breath fresh.

Tip: Put a reminder on your phone or mark your calendar every three months—it’s an easy way to stay on track.
