Should You Replace Your Toothbrush Every 3 Months?

REPLACE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH EVERY THREE MONTHS OR RISK DAMAGING YOUR SMILE

Staring at your toothbrush, you notice it looks a little frayed and discolored. You wonder if you should pick up a new one the next time you’re at the store, but you don’t write it on your grocery list or add it to your Amazon shopping cart. What’s the worst that could happen from using an old toothbrush anyway, right?

A healthy mouth starts with having good a dental routine. Part of a good dental routine is making sure you change your toothbrush every three months because believe it or not, using an old toothbrush can negatively affect your oral health. From causing sickness to damaging your gums, an old toothbrush could be your mouth’s downfall.

Introducing BacteriaBonaventure Dental Care Should You Replace Your Toothbrush Every 3 Months?

Your toothbrush is constantly exposed to water and the bacteria that is found in your mouth. It makes sense then that bacteria are transferred onto your toothbrush and establish colonies thanks to the wet environment, which allows the bacteria to thrive. With bacteria living on your brush, it can be continually transferred back to your mouth instead of being rinsed out each night.

Reintroducing bacteria into your mouth on a daily basis can cause damage to your teeth and oral health by causing infections or tooth decay. Replacing your toothbrush every three months can help ensure you are not introducing harmful bacteria into your mouth on a regular basis.

Cleaning Ineffectively

Using your toothbrush twice a day for three months can quickly wear down its bristles. A frayed toothbrush cannot stand up to the cleaning power of a new brush because its bristles aren’t as sturdy. When the bristles of a toothbrush wear down, they cannot reach into crevices as well to clean the bacteria and plaque off of your teeth. It’s best to keep a toothbrush that is in good condition so you clean your teeth as effectively as possible.

Causing Illness

Three months is longer than you may think. In that time, several sicknesses can come and go. While it is best to dispose of your toothbrush right after you recover from an illness, taking the extra precaution of disposing of your toothbrush every three months can help ensure you stay healthy. Bacteria and viruses can live for variable amounts of time including a few hours to several months according to National Health Services.

To keep yourself from reintroducing viruses and illnesses into your body, replace your toothbrush on a regular basis.

Damaging Your Gums and EnamelBonaventure Dental Care Should You Replace Your Toothbrush Every 3 Months?

As we use our toothbrushes, the bristles become unlevel and irregularly shaped. The factory-smoothed, plastic bristles become jagged and sharp with use. While we may not realize it, sharp plastic bristles can be damaging to our gums and enamel as we scrape them across our teeth on a daily basis. The result of using old toothbrushes with uneven bristles could be a receding gum line or damaged enamel.

Switching your toothbrush every three months is a good way to help keep your gums healthy and your enamel strong.

As you look at your frayed and discolored toothbrush, remember that you could be doing yourself and an injustice by not replacing it. Be sure to write new toothbrushes on your grocery list and keep a schedule for replacing your toothbrush. Your smile and your dentist will thank you for replacing your toothbrush on a regular basis.

    Dr. Bonaventure is by far the best dentist In Baton Rouge!!!! He has seamlessly pulled my wisdom teeth and not even the numbing part was painful! He’s very caring and personable with his patients in a very professional manner ! Not only Dr. Bonaventure but his staff as well, the ladies at the front... desk are awesome they remember who I am when I call (no better feeling) and the ladies that do the cleanings are the BEST!!!! They take their time and clean your teeth thoroughly; they even ask how your teeth are feeling when they’re done! I’ve already recommended my co workers to Dr. Bonaventure and now working on my mother in law lol!

    I have vowed not to review this office everytime I leave an appointment, but I’m taking a pause from my vows today ☺️. I just can’t help myself!

    My appointment was for 2:00. It’s 2:36 and I’ve been out of the chair already at least 7 minutes. Fast, courteous and professional... service! Dr. Bonaventure is the kindest, most compassionate dentist, ever! He came in, cracked a few jokes, and gave me a pat on the shoulder on his way out! He was done in record time. There is also not one unfriendly person that works there. You are greeted by name and with huge smiles. Anna actually remembered everything we spoke about at my last visit. 😀

    This is a “lunch hour friendly” dental office. So if you haven’t joined the Bonaventure Family, what are you waiting on? You’ll absolutely love it so much, you’ll find reasons to visit them. I promise.

    I found Dr. Bonaventure when I moved back to Louisiana almost 5 years ago. The staff is personable and professional. Dr. Bonaventure has top notch equipment and technology. I referred a friend who was new to Louisiana to Dr. Bonaventure and she has been extremely pleased as well. When I had a... change in dental insurance for 1 year and Dr. Bonaventure was not on my insurance, I refused to change dentist and found a way to continue to go to him. I was excited that he was on my plan when I got my new policy at my new job! This is one doctor that I have no plans on changing.read more

    I must say that I am 58 years old and have never been to such a professional business that makes you feel like family. From the front desk to saying goodbye. I called and made an appointment because I was getting married, I received the royal treatment. The girls at the front desk was so kind.... But. My personal contact was with Kaitlyn. I have never seen anyone that can deliver news to you in such a pleasant way. Ali performed my cleaning her professionalism is over the top. Bonaventure Dental Care is full of the greatest people. Usually I am jumping out of the chair but the young lady Aya made sure that I was calm and comfortable. When my extraction was done it was over before I knew it . Now ! Lauren and Margaret made the magic happen they saw to it that my partial was back in time for my wedding. All I can say is that I will never go anywhere else Bonaventure Dental Care is my family's new dental home. Thanks again Bonaventure Dental Care team.Melissa Dunnread more

I am always impressed how Dr. Bonaventure remembers details of your life even when it's six months between visits. He takes the time to get updates and answer any of your... questions. I will never forget how caring he was to our family after the 2016 flood. My mom had an appointment and my dad and I and my family were working on our flooded homes. Dr. Bonaventure and a coworker brought my mom home after her appointment. We will never forget his thoughtfulness.

    Dr. Bonaventure AND HIS STAFF in the back are amazing! They take their time answering any and all questions and have recommendations for any situations they don’t handle are uncomfortable handling there. I do like that we’ve only had to tell them our names the first visit. Ever since they usually... have us checked in as soon as they verify it’s us. Highly recommend this Doctor!!!!Note: I made adjustment to my original post after talking to Gracie who corrected me and was adamant about the front staff experience not being personable happening at a DIFFERENT doctors’ office (we see a lot of different doctors for her and we both had 2 each today. Gonna play my blond card on this one :) and apologize profusely. I am so very sorry for the confusion.) EVERYONE is AMAZING. We absolutely LOVE you guys! Also, the electric toothbrush I bought is fabulous! Looking forward to getting the water pick next! Thank you all for all you’ve done for us (mainly Gracie with her health issue causing all the dental issues.) The knowledge and understanding you all have for her special situation is off the chain. You guys rock!!! It doesn’t get any better!!!<3read more

    Bonaventure Dental Care is the absolute best place to go. I’ve been apprehensive to seek dental care after having bad experiences with other dentists. The care I received was excellent, friendly, and professional. My procedures were painless due to their liberal use of numbing gel prior to... injection. It’s easy to get an appointment and instructions are explained in detail. I drive 2 hours one direction to see this dentist and his awesome staff. They are worth every mile‼️read more

    The detailed dental assessment and feedback were the best I ever had. They took x-rays and pictures to give me a good cleaning and dental care plan. I appreciate when the details of my health are not overlooked but shared and discussed plainly.

    My son who is autistic recently transferred to this practice. Dr. Bonaventure attended my son's last appointment with his previous dentist to learn the special handling techniques. The transition has gone perfectly. We're so grateful!

    BEST dental care in Baton Rouge! The staff is so caring and makes you feel comfortable every time you come in. They are very gentle and ensure you aren’t in pain - this is HUGE! I can’t tell you how many dentists I’ve been to where everything they do hurts 😢 I would leave other places with... the corners on my mouth cracked & bleeding.
    I’m amazed every time I go into Dr. Bonaventure’s office! It is actually a wonderful experience to go to the dentist 🙌🏼😁

    I cracked my tooth on yesterday and needed to find a dentist this morning. One of my coworkers gave me Dr. Bonaventure’s office in information when I called them at 8:45. They asked me if I can come in at 10. I said yes went in. They did x-rays found out what needed to be done. Talked it over with... me. I didn’t have the money to get it done on today so they asked me if I wanted to try cherry financial institute to help me and I did. it was approved and I was able to get the bad tooth pulled, one filled, and Temporary bridge put in all at the same time. So if they didn’t know, they have a new patient they will know soon.I have been going to the same dentist office for about 20 years but they have stopped doing all the work and they have to refer you somewhere else so at this dentist office they do everything so one stop shop for my teeth and I’m done. Thanks, Dr. Bonaventure and your crew for taking care of me. Especially Miss Anna. She knows her stuff.read more

    I felt I had a dental emergency and called them in a panic. They took me in within a couple hours! When I arrived, they were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! From the front desk staff to Anna and Jenna! Dr. Stanford came in, looked at my X-rays and calmed me all the way down. I just needed a cleaning and a hug,... lol. Anna did all of the pre-work and her personality is beautiful. Jenna followed her with her “OCD” cleaning and I really appreciated her determination to clean my teeth with a mission in mind 😂.This entire atmosphere is a vibe! I walked out a brand new lady. Thank you Dr. Stafford, Anna and Jenna. You’re my new dentist, for Life! 💐read more

    It has almost been six months since I received a full smile makeover from Dr. Bonaventure and his team. It was initially nerve-wracking for me but his incredible bedside manner put me at ease with the process and the decisions involved. His team was also kind and helpful. I love my new smile and am... ever so thankful for the care to make it look so natural. I highly recommend this office for cleanings, teeth whitening and major dental work. Thank you!read more
