Many people wonder, “How often should you change your toothbrush?” A good rule to follow is to change your toothbrush every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles are showing signs of splaying or wear. This will make sure your toothbrush is performing at its best.

Any toothbrush will help to keep your breath fresh, as long as you brush correctly, use a fluoride toothpaste and follow a good oral care routine. If you’ve tried to find a bad breath cure and are struggling with the problem, speak to your dentist in case of an underlying dental issue.

To clean the gap between teeth effectively, try to prioritise interdental cleaning every day. You can do this by using a toothbrush with bristles designed give a deeper clean. You should also use dental floss or interdental brushes to remove plaque and food debris from between your teeth.
