You might would think about repairing your car when the time comes needed. But, how about your toothbrush? Yes you want to pay close attention to your toothbrush. It goes in your mouth so toothbrushes need attention also.

When will flu activity peak?
The timing of flu is very unpredictable and can vary from season to season. Flu activity most commonly peaks in the United States in January or February. However, (from the CDC) seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October and continue to occur as late as May. The 2011-2012 season began late and was relatively mild compared with previous seasons (see 2011-2012 Flu Season Draws to a Close for more information). The 2012-2013 influenza season began relatively early compared to recent seasons (see Press Briefing Transcript: U.S. Influenza Activity and Vaccination Rates for Current Season) and by January 11, 2013, flu activity was high across most of the United States. It is not possible to predict when the season will peak or how severe the 2012-2013 season will be, but based on past experience, it’s likely that flu activity will continue for some time. Read the article at CDC about flu season for 2012-2013
Recovering from your cold/flu
One of the most important steps you can take to avoid becoming reinfected is replacing your toothbrush! Germs can linger on the bristles, and you risk prolonging your sickness by continuing to use the same toothbrush. Be smart – keep a spare, just in case! To protect your toothbrush from bacteria all year long, consider the following tips:• Wash your hands before and after brushing
• Allow the brush to air dry after each use, harmful bacteria dies after being exposed to oxygen
• Store the toothbrush in an upright position to allow water to drain and dry faster
• Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Worn bristles are less effective in properly cleaning your teeth, and can actually be damaging to teeth if used too long! Take advantage of our Trade in Your Toothbrush campaign and get a new toothbrush.
