Using a toothbrush for too long is a serious mistake that can lead to oral diseases.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are not aware of this danger.

Replacing your toothbrush in a timely manner will significantly reduce the risk of developing dangerous diseases, as your teeth and gums will become less vulnerable to dangerous microorganisms.

How often should you change your toothbrush?

Remember this simple rule: this device must be replaced every 3-4 months.

Has it been 12-16 weeks since you bought your current toothbrush? Get a new one! Even if the old one "looks pretty good."

By the way, in some cases, you need to replace your toothbrush long before the end of the four-month period.

This should be done if the bristles are clearly frayed.

Replace your toothbrush on time: don’t risk your health!
