Our 5 Favorite Products For Better Oral Care
We have to level with you here — being indoors and working from home in our current Groundhog Day life has been hard on our teeth. Since we figured you might be in the same boat, we thought it appropriate to share our favorite recent finds: The products for better oral care that are keeping us so fresh and so clean. Whether you’re in the market for a better toothbrush (you really do need one) or just want to up your flossing game, this list will have you covered.
Hello Activated Charcoal Infused Floss
We’re hereby nominating that flossing regularly is the true sign of adulthood. And whether you’re currently doing so or want to improve on your regularity, Hello’s activated charcoal infused floss will get the job done. It’s sustainably made from bamboo fiber, vegan friendly, and delightfully mint flavored, and the activated charcoal ups its plaque-fighting power to a whole new level. Best of all, it doesn’t taste like charcoal — just like fresh, delicious peppermint.
Quip Electric Toothbrush
If your toothbrush head looks more like a squashed spider than a compact set of bristles, then Quip is here to save the day. It’s a smartphone-connected electric toothbrush that tracks your brushing in real time, giving you reminders to keep your dental health at its peak. Better yet, they offer a subscription service that will deliver new toothbrush heads and accessories right when you need them, keeping your brush as fresh as the day you got it.
Dollar Shave Club Peppermint Kick Toothpaste
From the same folks that simplified thousands of men’s shaving routines comes a crazy affordable, powerfully minty toothpaste. Dollar Shave Club is always a standby for affordable, effective personal care products, and their Peppermint Kick toothpaste is no different. It’s received the American Dental Association’s seal of approval, so you know it has to be good.
Spotlight Oral Care Whitening Strips
Teeth whitening strips were always a good idea, but in the early days of their being on the market they often fell short of their stated ideal. Why? Because they were made in a one-size-fits-all style that just so happened to fit almost no one perfectly. Spotlight’s whitening strips are different, with a shape and size specific to men’s mouths and thoughtful details like a comforting gum oil to prevent painful sensitivity. They’re everything we hoped whitening strips would be, and include hydrogen peroxide as their main ingredient for proven whitening power.
Aesop Mouthwash
As nice to use as it is to look at, Aesop’s mouthwash is a classy alternative to the neon-colored mouthwash bottles you’ll get at the local drug store. Its alcohol-free base makes it much gentler on your mouth and teeth, and the spearmint, star anise, and clove bud botanicals put it in a league of its own. Not sure whether those flavors will suit you? Well, if you’re ordering anything else from Aesop, you’re more than welcome to request a free sample of the mouthwash — or if you want the mouthwash, consider pairing it with a sample of their herbal deodorant or unisex fragrance.
