Frayed bristles = less cleaning, more irritation. Here’s a simple timeline and red flags to watch for.
Every 3 months is a good rule of thumb—or sooner if bristles splay out.
After illness, swap your brush to avoid re-exposure.
Electric brush heads also wear; check the indicator bristles for fading.
If gums feel tender or you notice plaque near the gumline, consider a softer head and lighter pressure.
