Here are some pointers for toothbrush selection and care:

• When shopping for a toothbrush, select about three appropriate styles and then let your child choose the one he or she likes most.
• Make sure your child cleans his toothbrush thoroughly after each use, and stores it in a dry place.
• Change your child's toothbrush every three months, or sooner if the bristles become bent or stiff.
• If your child gets sick, replace the toothbrush after he's recovered.
