Want healthy teeth? You have to bet on the right habits. Do you need examples? You should floss regularly and brush your teeth at least twice a day. In addition, you should know when to change the brush or, in the case of electric ones, the heads. Hajra Sarwar, a dentist, quoted in the Mirror, clarified all doubts.

Recommends that replace the manual brush "every three months", or sooner, especially when the bristles are worn and less effective. In addition, he advises that you change the brush when you recover from being sick.

As with manual toothbrushes, electric toothbrush heads should be changed "every three months, or sooner if the bristles are worn out".

It also recommends that you buy "an electric toothbrush with a pressure sensor and make sure you regularly clean the base of the handle to prevent toothpaste and water from accumulating".
