Clean Toothbrush, Prevent the Invisible Nasties

Fend off the “invisible nasties” with a clean toothbrush! Germs and bacteria can hide in toothbrush bristles. A clean toothbrush can help prevent the “invisible nasties,” the germs and bacteria that grow on your toothbrush. Replace your toothbrush every 3 months to prevent the buildup of invisible bacteria on toothbrushes over time. Dentists and hygienists recommend replacing your toothbrush every 3 months or sooner as a worn out toothbrush is less effective in removing plaque between teeth.
