Have you ever thought about what’s on your toothbrush?  If not, now’s the time to learn about Invisible Nasties. These creatures, germs and bacteria, or Invisible Nasties as we call them, can be a real danger to your smile. Dentists recommend that you change your toothbrush every three months. Studies show that after three months of normal wear and tear toothbrushes are much less effective at removing plaque from teeth and gums.

Explore the site to read advice from three experts sharing their insights how to teach children about the importance of brushing their teeth well, but also why changing your toothbrush often is so important. Teach your children about Invisible Nasties by creating your own Invisible Nasties craft “monsters” that you can enter in our Craft & Learn contest.
