Right Dental Products

Finding the Right Dental Products

With so many oral hygiene products out there, it’s tough to figure out what’s best for you. Here’s a list of common and effective tools you can use at home to keep your mouth healthy

Dental Floss

Even though it might not seem high-tech, dental floss is a superhero in the world of oral care. It does what your toothbrush can't by reaching places like under your gums and between your teeth, where plaque and bacteria hide.

Interdental Cleaners

Lots of dental experts suggest using interdental brushes alongside dental floss. These small brushes are soft on your gums and really good at cleaning the spaces between your teeth and gums. There are different types and sizes of interdental brushes to choose from!

Mouth Rinses

There are two types of mouthwash: cosmetic (over-the-counter, mainly for temporary bad breath) and therapeutic (may need a prescription, regulated, with active ingredients for bad breath, plaque, and cavities). Dentists prefer therapeutic rinses. Use mouthwash after brushing.

Oral Irrigators

Water jets like Waterpik® help clean below your gums, reducing the risk of gum disease. Use them with brushing and flossing, and don't forget professional cleanings twice a year for deeper care.

Rubber Tip Stimulators

he rubber tip stimulator removes plaque and boosts gum blood flow. Use it gently daily, rinse off any plaque, replace the tip when worn, and store it in a cool, dry place.

Tongue Cleaners

Tongue cleaners, made of metal, wood, or plastic, help remove bacteria and fungi causing bad breath. Use them before brushing to prevent ingestion.

Toothbrushes

Electric toothbrushes are recommended for their effectiveness in dislodging plaque. Manual toothbrushes work too, but require more effort. Change your manual brush every three months, use soft bristles, and pick the right-sized ADA®-approved toothbrush for ideal cleaning. Brush after meals and before bedtime.
