What Dental Products are Worth Investing In?

Investing in the right dental products can make a significant difference in your oral health. With so many options available, it’s important to know which products are worth your time and money. Read more to learn about which products we recommend adding to your oral hygiene routine!

Electric Toothbrush

An electric toothbrush is one of the top investments that will help you maintain excellent oral hygiene. These toothbrushes use oscillating, rotating bristles to remove plaque and debris much more effectively than manual brushing alone. Look for features like timers, pressure sensors, and multiple cleaning modes to customize your brushing experience. Some brands we’d recommend are Sonicare and Oral-B.

Water Flosser

While traditional flossing is perfectly fine for removing plaque and food particles from between teeth, a water flosser offers an alternative method that can be more comfortable and effective for some people. Water flossers use a stream of water to clean between teeth and along the gumline, helping to reduce plaque and gingivitis.

Tongue Scraper

Don’t overlook the importance of cleaning your tongue as part of your oral hygiene routine. A tongue scraper can help remove bacteria, food debris, and dead cells from your mouth, reducing bad breath and improving overall oral health. The great news is that a quality tongue scraper is less than ten bucks!

Mouthguard

If you grind your teeth at night, a nightguard can protect your teeth from wear and tear and alleviate associated symptoms like jaw pain and headaches. A mouthguard from the dentist will cost more than an over-the-counter DIY option, but we think it’s well worth the investment. A custom-fitted dental appliance will offer superior comfort and protection for your smile.
