How Often Should You Change Your Toothbrush?
How Long Should You Brush Your Teeth For?
If you’ve asked yourself at least one of these questions or if you have a hard time remembering when you should get rid of your old toothbrush, well Toothbrush is the app for you.
Thanks to the Toothbrush Reminder feature, be reminded when you need to change your toothbrush. You can create several toothbrushes for yourself or to keep track of your family’s.
The general advice is to change every 3 or 4 months but you may want to change sooner if you get sick for instance. Note that children often brush more rigorously than adults, they may need their toothbrushes replaced more often.
If you need to change your toothbrush sooner, no worries, hit the reset button and restart the countdown with your new toothbrush.
The Toothbrush Timer, on the other hand, is useful if you want to be sure you brushed your teeth long enough. Especially useful for teaching your kid to brush for a long enough time. You can adjust the time to your preference but the recommendation is 2 minutes with a battery-operated toothbrush and 3 minutes with a manual toothbrush.
