Often our patients ask for recommendations on dental products that we use in our office or know that are helpful in maintaining good oral health.
Products We Like
Waterflossers
Also known as an oral irrigator or dental water jet, waterflossers are devices used to clean between teeth and along the gumline. It works by spraying a stream of water at high pressure to remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria from areas that are difficult to reach with traditional flossing or brushing alone. We recommend them as an alternative or supplement to traditional flossing, particularly for people with braces, dental implants, or sensitive gums.
Toothbrushes
Also known as a manual or electric toothbrush, toothbrushes are essential tools for maintaining oral hygiene by cleaning the surfaces of teeth and gums. They work by using bristles to remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria from the teeth, helping to prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. We recommend using a toothbrush twice a day as a cornerstone of dental care, particularly for individuals seeking to maintain strong, healthy teeth and gums. Whether manual or electric, a good toothbrush is vital for achieving and maintaining overall oral health.
Replacement Heads
Replacement heads for both electric toothbrushes and waterflossers are essential components to ensure the continued effectiveness of your oral care routine. These heads are specifically designed to deliver optimal cleaning by providing consistent bristle movement for the toothbrush and targeted water streams for the waterflosser, reaching areas that may be missed by manual brushing or flossing alone. Regularly replacing the heads every three months, or sooner if they show signs of wear, helps maintain superior oral hygiene, preventing plaque buildup, and promoting healthier teeth and gums. Keeping your devices equipped with fresh replacement heads is key to maximizing the benefits of your dental care.
