When was the last time your toothbrush was replaced? We toss out expired foods, restock vitamins and supplements, and refresh our beauty products on a regular basis, but when it comes to health and beauty, our dental hygiene doesn't get the same amount of focus or consideration. There are, however, certain relevant rules and guidelines to obey in order to preserve optimal dental health. When Do You Change Your Toothbrush?

About 1 out of 5 children 5 to 11 years old have at least one untreated decayed tooth. 1 in 7 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 have at least one untreated decayed tooth. Children from low-income families aged 5 to 19 are twice as likely to have cavities compared to those from higher-income households. The good news is that it's preventable cavities. Fluoride varnish in baby teeth can avoid about one-third of cavities. Kids living in fluoridated drinking water households have less cavities compared with children whose water is not fluoridated. Likewise, kids who brush with fluoride toothpaste everyday should have less cavities.
