Many dental professionals recommend changing your toothbrush about every three months, and the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you replace your toothbrush approximately every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed.
I don't know why it is now turning black. Like Molly said, maybe it is time to change the toothbrush. You can put it once in a while in a glass of warm water with a false dental cleaning product like polident or so. Or just put it with your knives and forks in the dishwasher. Fact is, whatever turns black could not be very healthy to put in your mouth.
Well, I DO that. So it must be something else. There is nothing black IN my toothbrush. It's a mystery!
This sounds like mold. I wash my toothbrush holder every so often with hot water, and I put a plastic soap drainer underneath it with a paper towel underneath that. And like everybody said, don't use a toothbrush longer than a few months.
After each use, I pour hydrogen peroxide over the head of my toothbrush then place in cabinet head up to dry propely. Change my brush every 2 months. Just to satisfy yourself, purchase a home water testing kit from the home improvement or hardware store.
