Everything You Need to Know for Your Morning Teeth Brushing
Of all the things considered matinal essentials—reading the paper, guzzling caffeinated beverages, consuming a balanced breakfast—few tasks have more effect on long-term health and wealth than brushing one’s teeth. I grew up in a community where dentures were considered a convenient inevitability and most people underwent a full-mouth extraction as a mid-20s rite of passage. It will therefore come as little surprise to hear that, having grown up without being initiated into this essential morning ritual by my false-teeth-wearing parents, as an adult I spent hundreds of hours in various dentists’ chairs and have paid more than $60,000 to fix my messed-up choppers.

Are Natural Toothpastes as Effective as the Regular Kind?
"There's no evidence to support the advertising claims.”
Burst Brings An Innovative Model To Subscription Toothbrushes
Burst, a professional-grade sonic toothbrush subscription service, was founded in 2017 and launched in beta in August before going wide in October. The toothbrush can be bought online for $69.99 or through a dental professional for $39.99. After customers sign up, they'll receive a new brush head every three months for $6.
Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is: How Dental Care Went Luxury
From tortoiseshell toothbrushes with silk bristles to “marine bio-active” mouthwash, dental hygiene is going upscale in the age of high-end essentials.
Whitens, Brightens and Confuses
It should be so easy: Buy toothpaste. But few shopping trips are more bewildering. An explosion of specialized pastes and gels brag about their powers to whiten teeth, reduce plaque, curb sensitivity and fight gingivitis, sometimes all at the same time. Add in all the flavors and sizes, plus ever-rising prices, and the simple errand turns into sensory overload.
Dental Gel Fights Plaque, but Lacks Fluoride
The gel, called Livionex, removed plaque better than Colgate Total—a popular product used as a comparison—in a study at the University of California, Irvine. The results look promising, but longer studies with more subjects are needed, particularly since the new gel doesn’t contain fluoride, dentists say.
Meet a startup building an insurance business around a connected toothbrush
You don’t really need an Internet-connected toothbrush. Sure, it may be fun sifting through all the data it collects about how often you clean your teeth. But there’s no reason for the average person to pay extra for it. It’s purely a luxury. But to a dental insurance company, giving connected toothbrushes to policy holders makes all the sense in the world.
Smile, You're in the Dental Care Aisle
ONE thing I've been genetically blessed with is good teeth. Lousy eyes, but great pearly whites. So maybe that's why I was slow to catch on to the oral hygiene revolution overtaking this country. Powered toothbrushes that sell for more than $100. Whiteners. Mouthwashes that do double duty by preventing cavities or controlling tartar or gingivitis. Toothpaste in every conceivable flavor.
There is More to Your Mouthwash Than a Minty Taste
People gargle mouthwash thinking it will get rid of bad breath, but that is the minty liquid’s least effective function. Dentists say mouthwash and other rinses can be beneficial to overall oral health and an important part of daily oral hygiene routines but aren't essential. Mouthwashes can be divided into two main categories: cosmetic and therapeutic.

This the renaissance of the quantified self. Just when you think you've read about or tried every device and app out there that helps monitor your health, a new one appears.
Where Are the Best Oral Health Care Products?
So my advice is this: If you want the best products, don’t limit yourself to store shelves. Do your research, and don’t be afraid to bypass stores if you find something better online.
