Our dental hygiene is just as vital to our wellbeing as our exercise and skincare routines. Not only does a healthy smile make a huge difference to our confidence, but it’s also a key to pretty much everything – eating, kissing our loved ones and conveying endless facial expressions. So often we only focus on dental health when things go wrong. Toothache, bleeding gums and loose teeth are a painful reminder to look after your mouth.
The good news is, tech is a game changer, making it easier to achieve healthier, whiter teeth at home with advice from your dentist and hygienist. Electric toothbrushes, water flossers and teeth whitening kits are all available to help us fight plaque and keep us smiling.
Sugar intake, smoking and acidic food and drinks all contribute to poor oral health. Luckily, there are some key dental products that can help keep mouths happy and healthy if used correctly.
Electric Toothbrush
The average fully charged electric toothbrush can rotate at up to 42,000 per minute. They are brilliant for plaque removal; most have a pressure sensor to ensure we don’t brush too hard and a two-minute timer. No need to spend a fortune on a brush with various brushing modes.
Water Flosser
Flossing is crucial for cleaning the areas between the teeth that even the best toothbrushes cannot reach. Cleaning between the teeth removes plaque and debris that builds up throughout the day. Water flossers are one such product that force a jet of water between the gum and the tooth and can be a useful tool if used correctly. Patients with implants or advanced gum disease may benefit most from a water flosser.
If you are interested in professional teeth whitening, always ask your dentist. It’s always worth seeing the hygienist first, sometimes a professional clean can make a big difference. The second option available from your dentist involves a whitening pen and and a tray with an integrated light to active the bleaching ingredient. There is a price difference between the two options and always think carefully about which system maybe best. Please bear in mind that existing fillings and crowns will not change colour.
