If you want to improve your dental hygiene routine, there are many modern tools to use and guarantee the cleanest teeth and mouth overall. It is important to remember first that most dentists don’t recommend using stainless-steel scaling and scraping instruments at home as they are not safe when not used by professionals, so here are some devices to use at home without any danger:
- Electric toothbrushes: Although we all brush our teeth every day, the good thing about electric toothbrushes is that with a good one, it is not necessary to do the scrubbing motion of a manual brush. Furthermore, most experts prefer them as they use vibrations to blast plaque off the tooth’s surface.
- Water flosser: An excellent option for those who want their teeth to be extra clean. It is meant to be used in association with traditional flossing and will help you get into the narrow spaces in between your teeth. It is beneficial for people with orthodontic brackets, bridges, implants, or gum disease but can be used by everyone.
- Interdental picks: These can be found at any drugstore, but most people don’t know what they are for. Interdental picks are special plastic sticks used to quickly clean between teeth, which are the most challenging areas to keep clean. They look similar to toothpicks but will not break off or hurt the gums like a wooden toothpick often does.
In conclusion, these are just a few examples of how you can improve your dental hygiene routine with simple and safe tools that when used correctly, will not hurt you and will make your teeth cleaner than ever!
