Wash & Dry Correctly: Basic toothbrush maintenance can help keep your toothbrush clean. After brushing your teeth, simply rinse your toothbrush with hot water. Agitate the toothbrush bristle to remove any additional paste or debris, then rinse again in cold water. Make sure you aren’t placing your toothbrush directly back into a closed case while it’s still wet. Your toothbrush needs to air-dry to avoid growing new bacteria.

Replace your Toothbrush Regularly: Even the cleanest toothbrush will become ineffective over time. After months of use, the bristles will wear out and will not do their job of cleaning your teeth nearly as effectively. The experts recommend changing your toothbrush every 3-4 months to keep your bristles both clean and in working order.

Don’t Share Toothbrushes: Even if you’re comfortable sharing food, drinks and utensils with friends and family members, it’s best not to share a toothbrush. Experts warn against this practice because sharing a toothbrush means sharing someone else’s bacteria.
