Dentists — and the Centers for Disease Control — recommend that people change their toothbrush within 3 to 4 months, or whenever they start showing signs of wear. Think: frayed or matted bristles.

Back to why it’s important to replace electric toothbrush heads.
- Bristles are crucial to whisking aside the food and bacteria that causes plaque. And who wouldn’t want their first line of defense to be in top form?
- Good health is another good reason. Infections – viral and bacterial – can linger. Get rid of that toothbrush head post illness.
- Sharing toothbrushes equals sharing germs. Even if you’d trust someone with your life, don’t trust them with your toothbrush. If, accidentally, someone (even a family member) uses your toothbrush, toss the brush head and start fresh.
