When should I change my toothbrush?

We recommend changing your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles start to fray. No matter what type of toothbrush you use, the bristles bend and eventually lose their effectiveness over time. New heads remove more plaque, which is essential for keeping your teeth clean and healthy. Take advantage of our economical toothbrush head packs now.
Are the bristles on your toothbrush going in all directions or twisting? Have they lost their original colour? Does the brush head have a strange smell? Are the bristles worn or no longer have the same resistance when pressed with your finger? Were you ill recently?
If you answered any of these questions with YES, then it's high time to change your toothbrush or the head of your toothbrush if you have an electric model. A toothbrush is generally used 2 to 3 times a day. It removes food residues and cleans the mouth. The rather warm temperatures in the bathroom encourage the proliferation of bacteria and fungi - we all know the consequences. The same problem arises when you've been ill or have suffered from herpes, a sore throat or inflamed gums. In these cases, you shouldn't wait three months, but change your brush head straight away. Why should you do this? Bacteria attach themselves to the bristles and you could fall ill again. To clean your teeth effectively, you need new, strong and above all clean bristles every few months. Few people know this, but the curved, worn bristles of a toothbrush can damage the gums.
We know it's not always easy to think about this, especially in a stressful day-to-day life. That's why we've put together some handy special packs. So you always have your annual or familiar needs to hand. Equip yourself with spare brush heads - we have special offers for all needs until the end of October at a discounted price!
