Oral Hygiene
A standard oral hygiene "toolkit" should include a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and fluoride. But what kind of toothbrush is best? Should you choose toothpaste with whitening power? Does waxed or unwaxed floss work better? And what sources of fluoride are available aside from what’s in toothpaste?
In this section, you’ll find the answers to these questions and get all the facts on oral hygiene.
Find out what comes out on top in the manual vs. electric toothbrush debate in the "Toothbrushes" section. And before you buy baking soda, "natural" or desensitizing toothpastes, find out whether they’re truly effective in the "Toothpaste" section.
Fluoride kills the bacteria found in plaque and strengthens enamel. Found in toothpastes, mouth rinses and topical gels, fluoride is also found naturally in drinking water. Learn more about fluoride and its benefits in the "Fluoride" section.
