As the bristles of your toothbrush wear over time, they become less effective at removing plaque and debris from your teeth and gums.🪥 Also, worn-out bristles can be harsh on your gums, causing irritation and even gum recession.

So, if it’s been more than 3–4 months (or the bristles look worn sooner), it’s time for a new toothbrush! Your teeth and gums will thank you 🦷 For more information, give us a call at (515) 964-1490!

Green tea is rich in natural compounds that fight bacteria and reduce inflammation! This makes it a great beverage for not just your oral health, but your overall wellness too.
