Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal - Effective

Advantages: Easy to use, Quick results, Cost effective, Whitens teeth
Disadvantages: none

...are the latest product from Crest that were introduced earlier this year. They proved to be fast acting and I noticed a remarkable differnce in the shade of my teeth after just 4 days of using them. They are easy to use and only need to be used once a day. I used them every evening before bedtime for roughly 30 minutes so using them was not a long drawn out process. The box contains 28 strips. 14 for the upper teeth and 14 for the lower teeth. So ...

These do the job

Advantages: Small , does the job , gentle , easy to use , hygienic , tough
Disadvantages: Not very cheap

...last visit, she suggested trying TePe interdental brushes. Before I tell you about these brushes I shall just give a little of my background information. Although I still have my own tooshies ( teeth to most of you :) ) I have had a fair few problems over the years. Teeth which have not grown through needing removing, roots of teeth left since childhood becoming infected, crowns, caps and finally a year or two ago I needed a small dental bridge ...
...she suggested I try the TePe interdental brushes. Down at the reception I enquired and was advised to purchase the 0.4mm ones. These are very small and often used for children but they were just right for under the bit of my bridge that needed it and perfect between teeth which are very close. My purchase was a small cellophane packet containing 10 of these small TePe brushes . They have a pink polypropylene handle with the brush at one end. The ...

Flossing is not for flossies

Advantages: Efficient, effective, fun, messy. Improves gum and tooth health.
Disadvantages: None - perhaps a tad expensive.

Waterpik Cordless Dental Irrigator (we call it the water thingy) WARNING: This review contains gory information that may leave you rushing for the nearest pharmacy. ~~~~ PERSONAL BIT - scroll down for the technical stuff There was a programme on TV a couple of months ago. One of those 'World's worst' or 'Something from Hell' things. It was about people with bad teeth. Not just bad teeth, but rotting, stinking, barely-there stumps. They showed ...
...lost years before. The Waterpik comes with 2 types of cleaning head - both basically tubes that go on the top of the body and allow the water to jet out at different rates. My daughter and I progressed to the faster/harder jet after a week, my husband and son have stuck to the wussy beginners' ones. This gadget gives your teeth a thorough cleaning that brushing alone simply cannot manage - because the brush can't get between your teeth. It makes ...

Review of Waterpik Cordless Dental Irrigator

A breath of fresh air.

Advantages: Does what is says on the tin
Disadvantages: Strong!

Retardex Oral Spray is a handy little item for when you need minty fresh breath quickly. It is small enough to carry in your bag, or even your pocket, and won the award for 'Best Dental Product' in FHM's Grooming awards 2000. It helps to fight plaque as well as freshen breath, so at around only £2-3 from most chemists (Boots, Superdrug etc) it's really good value. They really last for ages too - I've had one for at least a year now - in my handbag ...
...really strong though! You have to be careful not to miss your mouth - so I wouldn't recommend taking it with you on a night out, as hitting your eye is nasty - I know to my cost! That said, when you do use it (2 or 3 sprays each time is enough) it does last for along time - your breath will stay fresh for longer than with those freshening strips, or with mouthwash. All round, this is a very useful and well-thought-out product, and really great ...

Plastic Quill Toothpicks

Advantages: hygienic, disposable, individually wrapped
Disadvantages: none

I like the plastic quill toothpicks which I bought on Ebay and it is the only place I have found where you can buy 50 or 100 as most outlets only sell in 1,000 units. They are flexible to use and come hygienically wrapped. The price is £2.25 for 50 or £4.25 for 100 which I think must also be a really good price. Certainly they are more expensive from Lakeland Products which is the only other outlet I can think of that sells them in small amounts. ...
