Toothbrush Trick

 

 

Hi my name is Jen and I am a too hard toothbrusher. I know because my toothbrush looks like the one on the left below.  Might go along with my Type A personality, but I recently got a wake up call when visiting the pediatric dentist with my little one about the effects of too hard brushing and how often you should replace your toothbrush.

I really never truly knew that answer so I asked him, “How often should you replace your toothbrush?” because come to think of it, I don’t really keep track of how long I use the same one. I just replace when the bristles are all smashed down. Not good. Don’t recommend.

The answer was interesting as was this super cook trick he shared with me to help me know when it was time to replace a toothbrush, both of which I am going to share with you today.
