I love skin care as much as the next person — arguably more based on the size of my ever-growing sheet mask collection — but this year, I have gotten into upgrading my dental care routine, too.
Practicing good oral hygiene may seem straightforward, consisting of brushing for two minutes twice a day, flossing, and using mouthwash. It turns out, though, that there are tons of awesome tools out there to help step up your dental care game.
For example, I recently made the switch from a manual to a smart electric toothbrush and have been loving the interactive elements. I am also more conscious of prioritising cleanliness when storing and transporting my dental care products.
Keep reading for more info on these and other ways to revamp your dental care routine. After all, it's not too early to start checking a few things off of your new year's resolution list.
Hum by Colgate Electric Toothbrush
First things first — you'll need a toothbrush! The pastel-coloured Hum by Colgate Electric Toothbrush ($59) is as high-tech as it is aesthetically pleasing. It uses bluetooth and an app to guide you to brush better, and has three different vibration modes. Plus, it's on sale on Amazon right now.
Colgate Gum Health Extra Soft Toothbrush
If you prefer a manual toothbrush to an electric one, consider switching to a brush with soft bristles to minimize gum irritation, like the Colgate Gum Health Extra Soft Toothbrush ($14 for a four-pack).
Sarmocare Toothbrush Sanitizer
Keeping your toothbrush clean is an important part of any dental health routine. Just think about how close it is to your toilet. A UV sanitizer, like this Sarmocare Toothbrush Sanitizer ($30), is a great option for sterilizing your brush.
Waterpik Cordless Water Flosser
Opt for a water flosser to target hard-to-reach plaque and food debris between your teeth. The Waterpik Cordless Water Flosser ($70) is portable and won't take up too much space on your bathroom sink.
TheraBreath Mouthwash
This TheraBreath Mouthwash ($14 for a two-pack) impressively has over 14,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. In spite of its mild flavour, it promises to fight bad breath for up to 24 hours.
Cedar and Stone Garden Concrete Toothbrush Holder
A minimalist toothbrush holder is both chic and practical — it's perfect for small spaces, without sacrificing style. We like this Cedar and Stone Garden Concrete Toothbrush Holder ($9), available in 20 different nature-inspired colours. It has multiple slots, so the whole family can store their brushes.
Shein Travel Toothbrush Storage Box
Don't forget to consider hygiene when travelling with your toothbrush. A portable plastic case, like this Shein Travel Toothbrush Storage Box ($4) will keep your toothbrush clean and dry. There is also enough room to hold a tube of toothpaste.
Quip Gum and Refillable Dispenser
Your oral hygiene routine doesn't end when you leave the bathroom. Freshen your breath on the go with the recently-launched Quip Gum and Refillable Dispenser ($30). For the price, you get a cute metal dispenser in the colour of your choice, as well as 90 pieces of sugar-free gum delivered to you in packs of 10 every three months.
