5 Dental Experts Reveal The Product, That They Can’t Go A Single Day Without.
Ever wondered what dentists and hygienists clean their own teeth with? They recommend products to us, but what do they actually use themselves? Want to know, but haven’t ever asked? — you’ll be glad to know, we did.
We asked two dentists and three hygienists:
“What’s the one product that you can’t go a single day without using, as part of your daily teeth-care routine?”
Heres what they had to say…
“My go-to product is a TONGUE SCRAPER! I especially like the ones that are made with both a rubber bristle portion and a scraper portion. I love it so much that I can’t fall asleep unless I’ve scraped my tongue before bed.”-Whitney Rose DiFoggio, Dental Hygienist and Founder of teethtalkgirl.com
“Tongue scrapers great for preventing bad breath and they can also improve the tongue’s appearance and sensations. In addition, there are studies that show the bacteria present on one’s tongue can even lead to tooth decay. So, I’m constantly recommending tongue scrapers to my patients for improving their oral health AND overall health because it’s all connected.”
My go-to product is REGENERATE Enamel Science™. It’s a 3-step regime, to protect my enamel I use the REGENERATE™ Advanced Toothpaste twice a day, the Boosting Serum once a month for 3 mins over 3 days and the Foaming Mouthwash, after eating and drinking to freshen up — Anna Middleton, Multi-Award-Winning Dental Hygienist and Founder of London Hygienist.
“Despite Enamel — the outermost protective layer of the tooth — being the hardest substance in the body, once it’s damaged, it cannot replace itself. REGENERATE Enamel Science™ is clinically proven to be able to reverse early invisible stages of erosion and regenerate enamel mineral, with 82% of tooth enamel mineral regenerated after 3 days!”
“My go-to product that I use daily are the little pink interdental TePe brushes. Many often underestimate the importance of interdental cleaning (cleaning in between your teeth) in order to reach areas that your toothbrush simply can’t!”-Dr. Melisa Padashi-Fard, Paediatric and Adult Special Care Dentist.
“Regular interdental cleaning reduces the risk of tooth decay in these hard-to-reach areas and helps you achieve excellent gum health. My tip to those who are new to cleaning in between their teeth, is to give these a go before attempting to floss. Flossing can be rather fiddly at first, and the key to creating a new habit stick is to keep the task simple and easy to do!”
“My go-to product is the Oral-B Pro-Expert Toothpaste because it contains stannous fluoride, which is anti-bacterial and also helps prevents cavities. It also makes your teeth feel clean and it taste nice too, but the science behind this toothpaste is what makes me love it. ”- Claire Louise, Multi-Award-Winning Dental Hygienist.
“After brushing your teeth, you’re not supposed to rinse your mouth out with water, as it washes the fluoride (the cavity-fighting ingredient) away. But, with this toothpaste, you CAN rinse without washing away the fluoride — because the stannous helps to keep the fluoride where it is needed — making it fantastic for preventing tooth decay and gum disease.”
“My go-to product is the Oral-B Genius X Electric Toothbrush, in rose gold — who doesn’t love rose gold!”- Dr. Raabiha Maan, Dentist.
“There are several studies to support that cleaning with an electric toothbrush is far superior to a manual toothbrush, as it can significantly reduce plaque and thus, gum disease and tooth decay! The 2-minute timer also means I’m always brushing for the prescribed time.”
