Dental Waterjet Oral Irrigator by ProFloss

Cheap Dental Waterjet Oral Irrigator by ProFloss Review




I purchased this oral irrigator last month for my husband who has gone through many of the models that sit on your cabinet. When the last one broke, I began to look for a replacement. After searching many sites I found this one. The reviews were very positive and I prefer to buy from Amazon (don't believe they have ever disappointed me). My husband loves this irrigator and I like (love) the fact that it doesn't sit on my cabinet all the time. The white attachment is always there but really not a distraction. Highly recommend this product.

DenTek Dental Pik Ultra & Anti Fog Mirror - 1 ea

Cheap DenTek Dental Pik Ultra & Anti Fog Mirror - 1 ea Review




This product is great and does a good job between dental cleanings. I will stress professional dental cleanings are something you cannot achieve at home but this tool does a good job to reducing and cleaning your teeth. I particularly love the dental scaler because it does a great job at cleaning tartar build up. Follow the directions and you'll be happy with your clean teeth.

DenTek Sonic Pick, Colors may vary

Cheap DenTek Sonic Pick, Colors may vary Review




Because I have gum problems, I'm paying for four dental cleanings a year, so this is prudent. I'm used to sonic cleaning at the dentist's office, so it feels fine to me. I do it blind so the light superfluous for me, theoretically I could turn it sideways and do scaling, but I don't worry about that either. I just run it along the gum line, between my teeth and into the pockets in my gums. It's a good size and shape to get into the back my mouth. My dental hygenist says it's making a considerable difference, and I don't mind using it as much as I dislike flossing or using other types of toothpicks.

I'm always leaving it around the house, so I'm getting another. My son tried it and liked it, so I'm getting him one. You can clean it well enough to let someone else try it, but since gum germs are pretty fierce, we're not going to share it regularly. The dentist's office cleans theirs and uses it on the next patient, of course.

Natural Floss Picks (50 ct)

Cheap Natural Floss Picks (50 ct) Review




I have difficulty controlling regular floss, so picks help me keep up a daily flossing regimen. Unfortunately, I was never comfortable with the amount of plastic waste produced by throwing out picks every day. As such, I was delighted to find this earth-friendly product available in stores. You get to floss as much as you want with minimal impact on the environment, and the price is even very comparable to other picks.

The downside, as other reviewers mentioned, is the strength of the picks and smoothness of the floss. They are definitely not as smooth and sturdy as what you would get from plastics and polymers. You will almost inevitably have a few of them break on you, usually with the floss coming loose from the pick. Fortunately for me, I don't have this problem as often as some others claim. I'm sure each unique mouth has different needs, with some teeth being tighter together than others. I probably break one pick every 10 flossings or so. The quality also seems to vary a bit between packages. The overall failure rate seems low enough that I can deal with it as a trade off for an environmentally friendly product.

I would recommend anyone give these a try. It's only a couple dollars for 50, and if they don't work well enough with your teeth, just move on to something else.
