Favorite Tooth Paste
Crest
Pro Health HD. This is a 2 tube tooth
paste routine. The first tube has the
best fluoride to use for preventing cavities: stannous fluoride. The second tube has hydrogen peroxide in
it. Peroxide is known to not only whiten
teeth, but makes it difficult for bacteria to grow in, thus reducing cavities
and gum disease bacteria.
Favorite Floss
My
favorite floss to use on my own teeth is Glide Floss. I find it doesn’t shred as much as others.
Favorite
Mouthwash
Honestly,
as stated above, I like Hydrogen Peroxide especially for those who struggle
with cavities or gum disease. The
science behind that is: bacteria in your mouth is living without oxygen,
peroxide introduces oxygenated bubbles into your mouth, which make it hard for
that bacteria to thrive. 
If I had a lot of decay issues I’d add ACT mouth rise. If I had gum disease issues I’d add
Listerine.
Favorite Manual
Toothbrush
I like any extra soft bristled tooth brush; I find that I
brush too hard. Currently I’m using
Crest Complete Sensitive toothbrush and brush with my left hand, so I don’t
brush too hard.
Favorite Electric Tooth Brush
Favorite Electric Tooth Brush
For my
small mouth I like Oral-B power tooth brush.
I find the smaller head allows me to get back behind my last molar. Ultimately, I believe, as long as the tooth
brush has a rechargeable battery and a 2 minute timer, that brush will be
superior to a manual tooth brush.
Favorite
Whitening Product – Over the Counter
Crest White Strips.
You need hydrogen peroxide to sit on your teeth. The longer it sits, the more it will
whiten. White strips allow this to
happen to some extent before your saliva will wash it away. If I didn’t see any results with this
product- some won’t- then we can help you achieve a brighter smile with a
prescription strength in-office procedure or product.
