Pharmacist Elvyra Ramaškienė of Eurovaistinės provided guidance on maintaining proper oral hygiene and advised consumers on recognizing when professional dental consultation is necessary. A key area of focus was the proper care and replacement of toothbrushes. Ramaškienė highlighted that a common oversight in daily oral care routines is the duration for which toothbrushes are used.
It is recommended that individuals should change their toothbrush every two to three months. However, she noted that many people tend to wait until the tool appears visibly worn out before replacing it. She explained that using a toothbrush for an extended period not only diminishes the effectiveness of cleaning but can also allow bacteria to accumulate on the bristles.
Therefore, it is crucial to proactively change the brush, even if it does not appear heavily soiled. Furthermore, she stressed that the replacement schedule should be accelerated if a person has recently recovered from an illness, such as a cold. Beyond routine care, the expert advised consumers on recognizing signs that warrant a detailed medical consultation, suggesting that persistent issues should be addressed by a dental professional.
Separately, the article noted that the VMVT (presumably a local authority) has initiated an investigation into hygiene violations concerning popular food delivery platforms, indicating broader public health monitoring efforts. Overall, the advice emphasizes preventative maintenance—both for personal hygiene tools and for public safety standards.
