If bristles are falling out of your toothbrush bit's much beyond it's sell-by date, and the bristles ar5e no longer doing their job. Toothbrushes should replaced every 3 months. Consider a new one the 13t deal of each system. New toothbrush q 3 mo is money well spent.

Agree with Dr. M. Swallowing a toothbrush bristle or bristles will not do any harm to you or your baby.
