Answers:
Usually every 3-4 months, or sooner if you get sick!.!.!.but that's for manual brushes!.

With electric ones, you need to replace the heads on them every 5 months!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's usually every 6 months, but if you have one of those that has the blue part that changes color and fades, when that fades to white or very light blue!. It's an OralB brand and it's a stripe in the bristle that changes color when it's time to change it out!.

If that's not the kind you have, it's every 6 months!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Every 2 - 3 months or when the bristles are no longer straight!. Standing your toothbrush up in a holder or cup so that it will dry will also keep your toothbrush cleaner and fresher for a longer time!. Also, I gather all the toothbrushes and soak them in bleach about once a month or whenever someone has been sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Change your toothbrush regularly!. As soon as the bristles begin to splay, the toothbrush loses its ability to clean properly!. Throw away your old toothbrush after three months or when the bristles flare, whichever comes first!. If you find your bristles flaring much sooner than three months, you may be brushing too hard!. Try easing up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should replace it as soon as it shows signs of wear!.
If the bristles are all splayed out in all directions, (like a
little kid's toothbrush, that they chew on!.!.!.) you are brushing
too hard!. If you are brushing harder or are brushing your
teeth more than 2 times per day, you will wear it out sooner!.
Also, you should replace your toothbrush after you've been
sick with a cold or flu!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I always change my toothbrush about every 2-3 months!. I think 3 months is the recommended time frame for switching out your old toothbrush for a new one!. I don't think you will be in any sort of trouble if you hang onto one for a longer period of time though!. www!.creativedesignunlimited!.comWww@Answer-Health@Com

You should change your brushes when the bristles are not straight anymore!. When they are like this the bristles scratch the gums instead of cleaning the teeth!. Store your toothbrushes in the open air and rinse thoroughly after use!. Also you can soak in mouthwash!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
