Your toothbrush should be changed:

  1.  When the toothbrush bristles have become frayed
  2.  After being sick
  3.  Every 3-4 months

 

To increase the life of your toothbrush:

  1.  Always rinse the toothbrush after brushing
  2.  Store in a vertical position, allowing bristles to air dry
  3.  Do not store in a closed container, this can cause bacteria to buildup
  4.  If you are traveling, consider bringing a disposable toothbrush
