5 REASONS TO REPLACE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH

Loss of Brush Efficiency:

  • After 3-4 months of use, the bristles of the toothbrush become worn or bent, reducing its effectiveness in cleaning plaque and food debris.

Bacterial Spread:

  • Toothbrushes can become a breeding ground for bacteria, germs, and fungi, especially if stored in a damp or unclean environment.

Oral Health Care:

  • Using an old, ineffective toothbrush can lead to tooth damage, bleeding gums, and bad breath.

After Illness:

  • If you have recently recovered from an illness such as a cold, sore throat, or infection, bacteria on an old toothbrush can cause you to get reinfected.

Sunnah Hygiene Practices:

  • In Islam, cleanliness is a part of faith, and using a clean toothbrush helps fulfill the Sunnah of maintaining oral hygiene, which is highly encouraged.
