How Often You Need to Change Your Toothbrush?

Dental hygiene, besides the proper tooth brushing with the appropriate toothpaste, includes the appropriate toothbrush that you need to change every month.

It may seem exaggerate and unnatural to you, but the toothpastes could be piled up with around 10 million bacteria including Escherichia coli and staphylococcus. Normally, besides changing it, it is also important where you keep it.

Even if you do a regular changing of toothbrushes, bear in mind that you need to be cautious when you choose a toothpaste i.e. the best choice are the ones which contain trilocsan/copolymer, because these substances are efficient in killing bacteria.

From time to time, clean your toothbrush with an antibacterial liquid for mouth rinsing, or even wash it in the dishwasher in order to sterilize it. Never keep it in a plastic toothbrush case, since the moisture after using maintains for a longer period and bacteria development rises.
