How long have you had your tooth brush?

I saw a toothbrush commercial recently that made me think. When you go to shop for a new toothbrush, it can be really confusing.You see hundreds of manual and powered toothbrushes up and down the aisle. Look for products that carry the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance—an important symbol of a dental product's safety and effectiveness.

A toothbrush should be replaced every three or four months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed. A worn toothbrush does not do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
Children should have a child-sized toothbrush for ease of use. The variety of colors and designs can provide extra fun and motivation to keep children brushing.
