Experts suggest that whether to replace your toothbrush after recovering from a cold or flu depends on the cause of your illness, the age of your toothbrush, and how it's stored. Dr. Anne Clemons from the Cleveland Clinic recommends replacing toothbrushes every three to four months and avoiding shared storage to prevent the spread of germs. Good oral hygiene is crucial as oral health is linked to overall health, with gum inflammation potentially increasing the risk of serious health issues like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
