Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush
Remember that TV show, Australians? I used to sneak behind the couch and watch an episode or two when my parents would watch it.
Nope, this post has nothing to do with television. It’s about your toothbrush.
When was the last time you updated your toothbrush? A month? 6 months? Over a year? A friend of mine said ‘… over a year … last time my dentist gave me one for free …’ the other day and I pretty much flipped out.
When I was around the age of 10 I watched the film Getting Even with Dad for the first time. In the film, Macaulay Culkin’s character replaces his father’s toothbrush without him knowing. His father (played by Ted Danson) confronts him about it and says things like ‘I liked the way it frayed at the ends.’ Macaulay’s character explains that a toothbrush needs to be replaced every 3 months. This little fact has been embedded in my brain ever since.
The first sentence on this About.com article confirms that.
Don’t be like my friend: Renew your toothbrush every few months (c’mon, it’s only about $20/year for a good disposable toothbrush), and brush your teeth at least twice daily.
