Are you wondering how often you should replace your toothbrush? Here’s a quick answer: It is recommended to replace your toothbrush **every 2 months**. But why is that?

Why Replace Your Toothbrush Every 2 Months?

Did you know that **delaying toothbrush replacement can reduce brushing effectiveness by up to 50%**? It is recommended to replace your toothbrush **every 8 weeks (2 months)** due to **bristle wear, bacterial growth, and limescale buildup**.

In the summer of 2022, we conducted a study on the wear and tear of the VBO Premium Toothbrush. After **two and a half months**, **10% of users** had toothbrushes that were still in **perfect condition**. **56%** of users had **moderately worn toothbrushes**. However, as we monitored their effectiveness, we found that these brushes **removed 15-25% less plaque**. **34% of users** had toothbrushes that were so frayed they were **almost unusable**.

Our findings confirmed that replacing your toothbrush every **two months** is ideal, as most users experience significant wear and reduced effectiveness in this period. Even for those who do not visibly wear out their toothbrushes, we still **recommend replacement** to prevent **bacterial buildup and limescale deposits**.

What Makes a Good Toothbrush?

Every toothbrush should meet **two key goals**: It must effectively remove plaque and protect the gums from damage. If a toothbrush meets both criteria, it can be considered high-quality.
