A Very Important Date

Welcome back to Poll Of The Day — today’s question is all about how you take another trip around the sun.

TODAY’S POLL

LAST POLL RESULTS

44.9% of you voted Every 3 to 4 months in Friday’s poll: How often do you replace your toothbrush?

“As a dentist, that’s what I recommend to my patients.”

“I also replace it whenever I’m sick and after I get my teeth cleaned.”

“Honestly, I never really kept track of the months. I just know when the toothbrush is dead and needs replacement.”

“I have an electric toothbrush that holds a charge for about 3 months. When it dies, I know it’s time to change the head.”

“I need to get better at switching out the heads on my electric toothbrush.”

“Once a month... because the soft bristle toothbrushes don’t last even a month!”

“Once a month on the day that corresponds with the last 2 #s of my house address.”

“Every 2 months, but I have 3 different brushes.”

“Every 2 months, but more often if I have a cold or a cold sore.”

“I was always told to replace every 2 months.”

“DEPENDS ON HOW WORN IT LOOKS. CLEAN WITH PEROXIDE ALL THE TIME.”

“It’s hard to say. I guess when the toothbrush starts to look bad. That’s usually around 4 months, but sometimes up to 6 months.”

“I should probably replace it sooner, but usually around 6 months. If the bristles are weak and bending down, definitely sooner. I definitely want a brush that will do the job!”

“I have 8 on rotation and replace the set at solstice.”

“I have an electric brush, a sonic brush, and the one the dentist gives me. I alternate between them, so I don’t feel the need to replace them as frequently as I would if I were using only one toothbrush.”

“I have to admit, I am bad at replacing my toothbrush and having a checkup at the dentist.”

“My toothbrush remains in ‘good shape,’ even after six months. Only when it shows excessive wear will I replace it.”

“I have no feedback on this one... just glad I’m not the only one that waits ~6 months or until it starts to look nasty.”

“Take care of your toothbrush, and it will take care of your teeth. Electric toothbrushes seem to need replacing more often than my old-fashioned brushes.”
