How often should I replace my toothbrush?

Dental professionals generally recommend replacing your toothbrush every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed or splayed. A worn toothbrush is less effective at removing plaque. You should also replace your toothbrush after recovering from an illness.

Are soft or hard bristle toothbrushes better?

Soft and ultra-soft bristles are generally recommended by dental professionals. They effectively remove plaque while being gentler on enamel and gum tissue. Hard bristles can cause gum recession and enamel wear over time, especially with aggressive brushing technique.

Are bamboo toothbrushes as effective as plastic ones?

Yes. Bamboo toothbrushes use the same bristle types as conventional brushes — the difference is the handle material. Bamboo handles are biodegradable and sustainably grown, making them a popular choice for reducing plastic waste without compromising on brushing effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best toothbrush in Australia?

The best toothbrush comes down to your priorities. For a luxury designer brush, the Apriori range is a favourite; for an eco-friendly choice, the biodegradable Keeko One Good Brush is a popular pick; and Peg Paste's tortoiseshell brush is a stylish option. Look for soft, rounded bristles and a comfortable handle — and ask your dentist if you're unsure what suits you.

Are soft or medium bristles better?

Most dental professionals suggest soft or extra-soft bristles for everyday brushing — they clean effectively while being gentle on enamel and gums. Firmer bristles can be harsher if you tend to brush hard. If you have sensitive teeth or receding gums, a soft-bristle brush is usually the safer choice.

How often should you replace your toothbrush?

Replace your toothbrush — or your electric brush head — roughly every three months, or sooner if the bristles look frayed. A worn brush cleans less effectively, so a fresh one helps you get the most from each brush.

Are bamboo and eco-friendly toothbrushes any good?

Eco-friendly toothbrushes clean just as well as conventional ones when the bristles are soft and you brush properly — the difference is mainly the handle, which uses biodegradable or low-waste materials to cut down on plastic. In our range, the Keeko One Good Brush is a popular biodegradable option.

Where can I buy designer toothbrushes in Australia?

Designer and premium toothbrushes have only a limited presence in supermarkets and pharmacies. Toothpasteology carries a curated Australian range — including Apriori and Peg Paste — shipped locally with free delivery on orders over $100.
