yikes, that was hard! 2/5. i think that all dentists tell you something different, so some of these responses were kind of subjective. I mean, my dentist just tells me to replace my toothbrush (or the toothbrush head on my electric) when I notice that it is getting worn, he never gave me a timeline.

child #3 started her orthodontic journey at 6 1/2, so i wouldn't wait until 7. my kids are having their braces in 2 phases, with the first expanding their jaws so they don't need to have teeth pulled later. after age 10 you can't expand the jaw.

I've also been told every 1-2 months for my kiddies. So, that's the one I got wrong. My kids are pretty good brushers but my youngest wants nothing to do with it. They even like to floss!

Yah I've been told at the most 2 months for replacing my toothbrush.

We've had two pediatric dentists and both have said to get new toothbrushes every month, so I got that one wrong. Our regular dentist says it for my husband and I as well. We've always gotten new toothbrushes the first Friday of every month. I also got the age of the evaluation wrong because here they require it to enter kinder, so I figured it was age 5. Unfortunately my kids have inherited my teeth, and no matter how diligent we are, they require work. And my 5-year-old fell and knocked his two front teeth so hard that they turned brown and had to be pulled. Although I enjoy seeing his toothless grin and knowing it'll be a few years before he grows them back.
