Why is it important to replace the brush regularly

2020-01-15

More than 75% of people don't change their toothbrush heads every three months as their dentist recommends, and it's not just a hygiene problem! Also directly related to our own oral health! Therefore, new brushes are essential to ensure a healthy and clean mouth.

  

  Worn heads can damage the gums: When making brushes, technicians at the electric toothbrush factory cut the nylon bristles to the same height, leaving sharp, serrated edges. Then round the ends of each bristles into soft domes to make them less fraying and to make sure they don't scrape away tooth enamel or gum tissue. When you brush with a worn brush head, the bristles return to their original serrated shape, causing the gums to recede and wear away the enamel. That's why it's recommended to replace it every three months

  Bacteria abound:

This may seem obvious, but it should not be overlooked. The American dental association recommends replacing the brush head every 3 months to prevent bacterial buildup in the bristles from affecting your oral and overall health. Bathrooms can be a breeding ground for germs, especially if you're prone to bad habits like flushing the toilet with a bedpan!

  

  Worn bristles are not clean: This is the most important one: worn brushes don't clean teeth well, leading to cavities and other harmful side effects! When brushing, the open bristles move away from the curvature of the teeth, preventing their thin tips from reaching between the teeth and the gums, thus hindering the core cause of brushing!

  

  Weijie smart electric toothbrush manufacturers suggest setting reminders on the phone's calendar to replace the brush, or adding a service that automatically provides you with a brush head every three months, so when your new head arrives in the mail, you have no more excuses not to replace it.
