Dental health kit essentials
There are just a few basics needed to keep you smiling through your dental routine, and at the same time keep your teeth, tongue and mouth clean and healthy too.
Electric toothbrush
Electric toothbrushes are not necessarily better than manual ones, but they do take much of the guesswork and difficulty out of correct brushing.
Manual toothbrush
When it comes to a manual toothbrush, choose whatever is most comfortable for you. The best toothbrush is one that fits your mouth and allows you to reach all teeth easily.
Toothpaste
Next time you visit the dentist or oral hygienist (ideally at least once a year) ask them which toothpaste is best suited to your needs.
Tongue scraper
These vary greatly in appearance but all tongue scrapers are specifically designed to clean food residue from the tongue.
Dental floss
Regularly using dental floss to separate the contact surfaces between teeth and to clean below the gum line goes a long way to preventing gum disease.
Interdental brush
After brushing and flossing, an interdental brush can be used where there are bigger gaps between teeth that can trap food.
Mouth wash
Using mouthwash is not a substitute for flossing, but should be used in combination with brushing and flossing.
