For starters, you should always seek a toothbrush that’s approved by the American Dental Association (ADA). You’ll see their Seal of Acceptance on the package. You should also choose a brush with soft bristles, since harder bristles can damage your gums. Replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or when the bristles become worn.
