The reviews are in: These extra-soft toothbrushes live up to the hype. The gentle polyester bristles are even infused with silver that, according to its Amazon description, “naturally eliminates the buildup and debris that linger on most toothbrushes.” They have a 4.6-out-of-5-star rating and over 6,000 ratings on Amazon. Reviewer Muschtini gives the two pack five stars and writes, “I have receding gums and this is the first toothbrush in over a decade that doesn’t hurt me. The cleaning power is unmatched by any other “regular” toothbrush. Perfect size, durable, and easy to hold.” We discovered these toothbrushes courtesy of our friends at BuzzFeed, and our readers can’t get enough.
With almost 90,000 Amazon ratings and a 4.6-out-of-5-star grade, it’s no secret that Crest Whitestrips boast legions of fans. Each strip is made with hydrogen peroxide that whitens without damaging enamel when used correctly, leaving your teeth 20 levels whiter in just 22 days. Reviewers rave that it’s “a great way to whiten your teeth without breaking the bank” and make teeth “significantly whiter and brighter.” Experts have previously recommended ADA-approved products like these classic teeth whitening implements to our readers.
Philips Sonicare’s bells-and-whistles toothbrush does cost a pretty penny, but its hi-tech specs and adoring reviews indicate that this may be money well spent. This model features three cleaning modes as well as pressure sensors that prevents abrasive brushing. Plus, it has a two-minute timer to ensure you brush for dentists’ recommended brushing time. Amazon reviewer Elle loves that this electric toothbrush doesn’t need to be charged often even tells you when it’s time to replace its head. “[T]he device itself seems to be very durable and it works great for travel as well because it’s portable,” the reviewer also wrote.
Readers also love this more affordable option from Philips Sonicare. While it doesn’t have as many nifty features, this “power” toothbrush checks all the necessary boxes for clean, healthy teeth. This includes a 2-minute timer, 14-day battery life and soft rounded bristles. Plus it has a 4.6-out-of-5-star rating on Amazon and over 20,000 reviews. “…this newer model is cheaper and is still leagues ahead of manual tooth brushes,” Amazon reviewer Nick wrote. “I definitely recommend it to anyone that hasn’t delved into electric tooth brushes, they just make your teeth feel much cleaner! It’s a noticeable difference.” Readers always take advantage when this economical pick goes on sale (as it is right now).
If you’re a busy bee looking for a quick fix, look into whitening pens — specifically this top-reviewed pair from Venus Visage that readers love. Each pen uses carbamide peroxide (a compound that breaks down into hydrogen peroxide) and has a lifespan of 20+ uses. Reviewers express their love for the value, noticeable results and that it doesn’t hurt gums.
Waterpik is a household name in the world of water flossing. Rather than string, water flossers remove plaque and food between teeth with streams of pressurized water. The Aquarius water flosser, for example, has 10 different water pressure settings 360-degree tip rotation for fast, ample cleaning in just 90 seconds. Although it takes a up a bit of counter space, according to Amazon reviewer Academia Macadamia, it’s worth it. They write, “I like this model because it works amazing and is a better value price-wise compared to the others.” This is a frequent favorite of HuffPost readers.
If you can’t sacrifice counter space or need a flosser for travel, this portable irrigator is for you. It delivers the same high-pressure water streams as other brands but in small, rechargeable packaging. It even comes with a travel case. Amazon reviewer Krystal loves that it’s “so compact, easy to store and transport.”
Say goodbye to bad breath with the help of this top-rated tongue scraper. Its high-grade stainless steel keeps it clean for longer while its rubber handles and curved design make it easy to maneuver around the mouth. With a 4.6-out-of-5-star Amazon rating and 11,585 ratings, we think it’s a must have. We’ve previously spoke with dentists about how this nifty thing works, and readers took a shine to it.
