When it comes to oral hygiene, most people think simple: toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and a jug of mouthwash. The concept of the toothbrush, which is basically a stick with bristles on it, is based on technology that predates practically everything but the invention of fire for cooking. These tools can be all you need for effective dental hygiene, but some people love to take their tools to the next high tech level. We’ve put together a handy guide for you of some of the newest, most high tech options on the market today. Happy brushing!
Advancements have made daily dental care easier and more convenient than ever.
Get Picky With It
We all floss, but most of the time it’s done with a simple waxed string wrapped around fingers or with pre-strung floss toothpicks. We don’t necessarily think of anything else that could help us floss. But, what if you could floss with a high powered stream of pressurized water? Well, now you can with the powerful and compact Waterpik. It is an at home flossing system that allows you to upgrade your flossing game by using pressurized water. This helps you get the spaces between teeth effectively and helps to stimulate your gums for healthier gum foundations. Want to go even further? You can save time by buying a Waterpik combo tool that is a vibrating toothbrush plus a water-flosser built in. You can save time and money by embracing new powerful dental technology!
Scrape On By!
While you’re supposed to clean and scrape your tongue with your toothbrush while you’re flossing, most people skip that little step each day. Now, you can have a dedicated scraping gadget that will help you stay more on track with your oral hygiene than ever before. With Dr. Tung's Tongue Stainless Steel Cleaner you can clean your tongue easily and effectively without having to use your toothbrush. These are durable and comfortable and help to eliminate the germs that cause bad breath.
Clean With The Power Of The Sun
When you’re done with your toothbrush each day, you probably don’t think about it much. While you’re out living your life, it is stuck in your bathroom exposed to the open air gathering dust and germs. Why not have a gadget that helps you to actively clean your toothbrush while you’re away each day? With the Pursonic S1 Portable UV Toothbrush Sanitizer, you can. It uses powerful UV rays to continuously sanitize your toothbrush while it is waiting for you to come back between uses. Great for use as a travel case as well!
