Basic Toothbrush Care

Your toothbrush is the first-line defense against gum disease. Here's how to take care of your toothbrush:

- Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months (or sooner if the bristles start to bend or fray)

- Rinse your toothbrush with tap water after brushing and allow it to air dry. This gets rid of bacteria that die when exposed to air. 

-Store your toothbrush upright so it can drain and air-dry faster.

- Allow your toothbrush to air dry completely before packing it away for a vacation.
