The number of times you change your electric toothbrush head becomes a determining factor in your oral health, as this type of brushing is becoming more and more popular.
And Dr. Nigel Carter, CEO of the British Oral Health Foundation, explained that more than a third of electric toothbrush users are more likely to develop gum disease, according to the “Daily Express” website.
Carter attributed this to a study of more than 1,000 electric toothbrush owners in the United Kingdom. The survey found that about 42 percent of them did not change their toothbrush heads regularly, so they were more susceptible to gum disease.
deterioration of oral health
Dental professionals recommend replacing heads every 3 months to avoid ineffective cleaning and deteriorating oral health, because old toothbrush heads can increase your risk of oral health problems, such as plaque buildup.
And the problem doesn’t stop there as this can lay the foundation for gum disease and tooth decay. “A worn-out toothbrush cannot clean your teeth properly and may damage your gums,” Carter said.

One of the problems with not changing the toothbrush head is that the bristles get splayed, making them unable to clean the teeth properly.
And a growing body of evidence continues to suggest that gum disease can be linked to serious health problems, ranging from heart disease to dementia.
