According to an article in the Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research 60% of toothbrushes that are stored in a bathroom that share a toilet have faecal matter (poo) on them. Put the lid down on the loo before flushing to stop this happening. Toothbrushes can also be home to a host of bacteria and germs. You should change your toothbrush every three months. Today is the first day of Spring - if you change your brush at the beginning each season it's easy to remember when to change it. You should also change your toothbrush after you have been sick!
It's better for your oral hygiene if you change your toothbrush regularly but not so great for the environment. 30 million toothbrushes end up in landfill in Australia each year.

2020 has been a difficult year. Let's face it - it sucks! You might be struggling mentally and emotionally due to Covid-19. You might be in isolation, your family might be struggling financially or tensions at home might be high, you might miss seeing grandparents or family or friends, you might have missed out celebrating a birthday or a family holiday. You might just feel down because of all the bad news in the world at the moment. You are not alone.
If you are struggling, talk to someone about it - your parents, an aunt, teacher, chaplain or other trusted adult. You may also need to see a counsellor or psychologist.
