Whichever method of toothbrush maintenance, cleaning & storage you choose, please remember to replace that thing every 3-4 months – No excuses! We’ve seen toothbrushes that resemble gigantic cotton swabs after being stored in one of those travel holders while still wet…try getting that image out of your head.

Take good care of your toothbrush, and it will take care of your teeth!
