Fun Tools to Clean Your Teeth

While there are oral care basics that should be accomplished each and every day, it can be fun to spice your oral care routine up with new gadgets. Whether you prefer an electric toothbrush or one of these fun tools, it's a great idea to find the right oral care devices for your wants and needs. Your trusted dentist in southern Missouri is here for all of your oral care needs! Today's blog goes further in depth with some new tools that are on the market place.

Water Pick

Spraying small bursts of water between your teeth, a water pick is a great device to help clean deeper than brushing alone. Many people with braces find water picks to help clean between their dental appliances and hard to reach spaces in their mouth. It's important to keep food and other germ build up off the tooth surface and a water pick can help do just that!

Clean Betweeners

With small, usually colorful, sticks or picks, you can make flossing a little more fun. It looks like a pick with a small piece of pipe cleaner on the end - helpful for removing food particles. You simply slide the clean betweener flossing tool between each set of teeth and wiggle it back and forth. This helps to remove any food particles and bacteria that may be hiding in these dark places of your mouth.

Tongue Scraper

An unwashed or brushed tongue can be the cause of bad breath for many people. The scraper helps to reduce the amount of bacteria that causes bad breath. You simply scrape the tongue scraper across your tongue which helps it remove bacteria and other particles that may build up on the tongue surface.

Fun Flossers

If you need a convenient way to floss on the go, flossers are for you. The small pick splits toward one end with a piece of sturdy floss strung between the two ends. This helps to get into those hard to reach spaces between your teeth with ease. It's a great item to have with you when traveling or out and about during the day. If you get a little bit of food stuck between your teeth, you don't have to wait until you get home to remove the pesky piece of food.

Now that you've seen a few of the unique and interesting ways to clean your entire mouth, it's time to see if any of these will work for you. Whether you want to get your kids excited about oral care or need to step up your own game, make brushing and flossing fun! While it's important to stick with the basics of brushing twice and flossing once each day - you may as well have a good time while you take care of your teeth! Access Dental and Dentures encourages you to find what works with your oral care routine and go for it! As long as you're cleaning your tooth surface and in between your teeth, we're happy you are keeping up with your oral care routine.
