A member asked:
Could a pink color on my toothbrush bristles be harmful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If the bristles were that color when you got the brush and it is an ada accepted brush, it's safe. If they were once white and are now pink, you could have periodontal disease since its probably blood.
