It is recommended that you replace your toothbrush every three months to help ensure the highest efficiency. With daily use, the bristles of a toothbrush will become less effective over time and may even become host to some rather nasty bacteria. To prevent issues caused by either of these factors, it is best to replace your toothbrush or toothbrush head on a regular basis.
