Your dentist will recommend that the head of your electric toothbrush regularly. This will help to prevent a buildup of germs and bacteria on your toothbrush and on your teeth. What are some general guidelines that should be followed at all times?
– Most toothbrush heads should be replaced every three to four months.
– They should be purchased if the existing one has become worn.
– Those suffering from oral health issues should change the head more frequently.
“Just like a regular toothbrush, approximately every three months is still the standard for it to be swapped out.”
