Many people think if they simply brush and floss, their oral health will be taken care of but if you are not paying attention to the tools you are using, you probably aren’t getting as good of a cleaning as you could be. Use our guide to rethink the products you’re choosing for your oral health regimen and start getting a cleaner smile today!
A toothbrush is one of the most essential instruments in your oral health routine. The type of toothbrush you should choose depends on your individual health needs. For example, if you have soft enamel or gum sensitivity, you should choose a particularly soft-bristled brush. There are plenty of viable options available at most pharmacies or general stores but often times, dental professionals will recommend electric toothbrushes for a more thorough brushing. To find out the best option for you, consult with your dentist and ask for recommendations to get a better, cleaner brushing.
Entering the toothpaste aisle of any store can be immediately overwhelming. With countless options to choose from, it can be hard to know the differences between them. Continuing with the previous example, if you have soft enamel and are prone to cavities, it is best to choose a toothpaste with added fluoride but again, the best way to know which type is best for you is to consult your dentist.
Mouthwash offers fresh breath while also ridding your mouth of leftover food particles stuck between teeth. Mouthwashes are offered in most any color and flavor you could imagine so it is easy to find something for anyone. If you have a particular dental sensitivity, you should be able to find one that tailors to your need but it is important to be wary of false advertising. To be sure that the product is giving you what it says it is, ask your dentist to read the label.
