Q: When is the right time to change my toothbrush?

A: Ideally, our toothbrushes must be used for three months only. This is due to the fact that there are many bad bacteria stuck in our toothbrush which cannot die easily. This happens when you don’t change your toothbrush after three months. If you are not careful, the risk of having bad breath, cavities and cold sore is high. To maintain total oral care habit, make sure that you regularly change your toothbrush every three months. Our Long Beach dental clinic aims educate their patients so they can practice proper oral care habits.
