Dentists recommend changing your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Over time, bristles wear out, reducing their ability to clean your teeth effectively.
After an illness, replace your toothbrush to avoid reintroducing bacteria or viruses into your mouth. This keeps your oral health in check.
If the bristles are frayed or bent, it’s time for a new toothbrush. Damaged bristles can’t clean your teeth or gums as well as they should.
Mix lemon juice with baking soda to make a paste. Brush gently for 1-2 minutes. The citric acid helps whiten teeth, but don’t overdo it to avoid damaging enamel.
Apples, carrots, and celery act like natural toothbrushes. Their crunchiness helps scrub away stains and plaque, giving you cleaner and healthier teeth over time.
Discolored bristles may indicate wear or trapped debris. A toothbrush in this condition is less hygienic and less effective for oral care.
Choose a toothpaste with mild whitening agents to remove surface stains. Brush twice a day for cleaner, whiter teeth and a brighter, more confident smile.
