How often do you change your toothbrush? *

The dentist says you are supposed to do it every three months. I try to do it by then, sometimes sooner. What about you?

I change my toothbrush every sunday.Why you ask?Because every saturday is when the queen scrubs the bathroom.And I have noticed afterward that all the other toothbrushes are dry and mine is wet,but the toilet sure is clean!

Whenever the little blue lines get about half-way down the bristles. I never take the ones my dentist tries to give me. They're always pink or something and really cheap. I like to go with the Mega-Super-Ultra-DEElux model toothbrush, short of an electric one....

When the blue lines get 1/2 way down or after I've gotten over a cold.

I think I change mine every month, of course I work with oral bacteria for a living so I get a little germaphobic when I'm brushing my teeth and I start thinking about those cultures at work...have to go wash my hands now.

I throw mine in the dishwasher every so often. No idea how often actually change one, just whenever the wife decides we need new ones. Now that I think about it....after reading King's post, maybe I ought to pay more attention to toilet scrubbing days....

I thought it was supposed to be whenever the bristles fell out and you couldn't scrub with it anymore?
