How often should you replace your toothbrush?

You should replace your toothbrush at least every three months, and always after you have an episode of flu, cold or other viral infectios. Notorious bacteria can implant themselves on the toothbrush bristles leading to re-infection. Remember it is always best to use a soft bristle toothbrush and brush in small circular motions at a 45 degree angle.
