It is recommended that you brush your teeth at least twice a day for at least two minutes at a time with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. As effective as this at-home oral hygiene routine can be, it can be compromised by using an old toothbrush.
It may surprise you to learn that your toothbrush should be changed out every 3-4 months! This seems quite frequent to many people, but there are a few reasons why:
While at-home oral hygiene like brushing and flossing is a vital part of maintaining healthy teeth, you should also be visiting your regular dentist every six months for a dental cleaning and a checkup. Even when undergoing orthodontic treatment, you should still be visiting your regular dentist.
