WHEN SHOULD I CHANGE MY TOOTHBRUSH?

Toothbrush is used to help clean the teeth, gums, and tongue. We brush our teeth at least twice per day. It is important to have a clean and optimum condition toothbrush so that we can clean our teeth effectively. The recommended duration to change your toothbrush is every three months.

How do you know when to change your toothbrush?

Change of bristles

If the bristles of your toothbrush is already worn out, bend or crooked, it’s the time to get a new toothbrush

Debris on Toothbrush

If there is debris or dirt at the base of the bristles that cannot be removed, your toothbrush is dirty and must be replaced.

Toothbrush contamination

Toothbrushes should be stored appropriately and individually. It’s better not to let toothbrushes touch each other as it can lead to bacteria swapping. If you have touched toothbrush with another, it’s time for a replacement.

Also, do not store toothbrush in a drawer or container after use, the damp environment can lead to bacteria growth, leading to health issues.

Make sure get a new toothbrush every 3 months

Usual lifespan for a toothbrush is about 3 months. Therefore, replace it regularly to achieve optimal oral health.

These are some of the steps you can take to have a stronger and healthier tooth. After all, we all want to make sure we are problem free and we can enjoy our life and food for many years. In Smileway Dental Clinic USJ and Smileway Dental Clinic Setapak we take care of your smile because we believe in “Creating Smiles That Matters” in your life. Take care everyone.

  I recently had an appointment at Smileway Dental Clinic to address a persistent dental issue that had been causing me considerable discomfort.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere of the clinic was warm and welcoming, which helped to alleviate some of my anxiety. Dr. Lisa took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the procedure to me, which helped to alleviate my fears. Her calming demeanour and gentle approach immediately put me at ease.

The surgery itself was surprisingly painless, thanks to Dr. Lisa's expertise and skillful technique. She was incredibly patient and attentive throughout the entire procedure, constantly checking in to make sure I was comfortable and pain-free.

Overall, my experience at Smileway Dental Clinic was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Lisa and her team exceeded my expectations in every way, providing me with top-notch dental care in a compassionate and supportive environment. I highly recommend Smileway Dental Clinic to anyone in need of dental services, especially those who may be anxious or fearful about visiting the dentist.
