Dental tip of the week: Toothbrush Contamination

It is very important to replace your child's toothbrush every three to four months (and your own). When you brush your teeth, some of the bacteria remains on the brush and, therefore, can reinfect your teeth, gums or body again. This is especially important in this time of year-flu season! If you, or your child, become ill, immediately replace the toothbrush upon recovery.
