The jaw is one of the strongest bones in the body, but all that power is worth nothing if the teeth and gums aren’t up to the job of masticating medium-rare proteins. Though the correlation between dental health and overall well-being (or life expectancy) is often overstated — correlation doesn’t equal causation — people with bad teeth tend to struggle with physical and economic pain. Better to invest in great dental care tools than be subjected to a myriad of expensive procedures designed to save smiles that always provoke frowns.
Today's Top Deals
BEST TOOTHBRUSH
Philips Norelco Sonicare 9900 Prestige Electric Toothbrush
Buy Now On Amazon
Not everyone needs a near-$400 toothbrush, but it can be very nice to have when it delivers this level of clean, sports a charge that lasts weeks, and comes with a delightful leather case. As if that wasn’t enough, the 9900 Prestige has a smartphone app that tracks brushing consistency, pressure, motions, and more, so that you further optimize the effort. If you want the best of the best, Philips is it.
BEST TOOTHPASTE
Dr. Bronner's Spearmint All-in-One Toothpaste
Buy Now
This electrifyingly fresh toothpaste gives your mouth the reset it needs, and not just with spearmint flavor: The 70% organic formula relies on glycerin, aloe juice, menthol crystals, and coconut oil to deliver a soothing, odor-neutralizing sense of clean. And in classic Dr. Bronner’s fashion, it lacks all the baddies, too: No artificial flavors or coloring, plus no preservatives, synthetic sweeteners, carrageenan, or foaming detergents. It’s also fluoride-free.
BEST FLOSS
Davids Expanding Dental Floss
Buy Now
Davids has led the way in nano-hydroxyapatite oral care, which is a 1,000-word way of saying that the brand is focused on reinforcing enamel production and cavity/stain defense. What makes this floss stand out is what makes it so strong and so slippery: vegan wax and cocoa butter. The cool thing here is that, because of those materials, this floss expands slightly when in use, which means it can grab extra debris.
BEST MOUTHWASH
Selahatin Eukalypse Eau d'Extrait Oral
Buy Now
No, it’s not technically a mouth rinse, but this mouth spray fulfills the same purpose on the go. And so this oral spray—Eau d’Extrait Oral as the brand labels it—is a profound and profoundly original freshener. There’s eucalyptus (of course), honey, and menthol. It’s smooth, sure, but also a bit spiky. We’d encourage you to check out the entire Selahatin line for a variety of flavors, across oral sprays, mouth rinses, and toothpastes. But this one is a real standout and, frankly, a fun thing to take out at a party.
BEST TEETH WHITENING KIT
Boka Bright + White Teeth Whitening Kit
Buy Now On Amazon
Boka is one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding brands in the oral care space, thanks to the brand’s hero ingredient, Phthalimido-Peroxy-Caproic Acid (PAP), a peroxide-free and enamel-safe whitening agent. That’s a bit technical, but the results from using Boka’s whitening kit were profound and nearly immediate. Teeth got whiter and there was not notable pain or discomfort.
BEST DENTAL CARE KIT
Marvis Toothpaste Set
Buy Now On Amazon
Make brushing fun with this tasty toothpaste pack. Marvis’s potently delicious pastes turn an otherwise monotonous act into something to enjoy. And since all of these flavors come in TSA-friendly 1.3 oz. tubes, Marvis is also a fun travel solution. By the way: Cinnamon Mint is the best of the bunch.
BEST WATER FLOSSER
Waterpik Cordless Pearl Water Flosser
Buy Now On Amazon
All modern water flossers are basically riffs on the Waterpik. Mobility is what differentiates this device from the rest. This model comes with high-powered gum cleaner jets that loosen up everything. The Cordless Pearl has two pressure settings, a 45-second capacity, and includes three different tips (four total — two standard, one for added plaque buildup, and another for navigating obstacles like Invisalign, braces, and retainers). It recharges with USB-A, and its removable tank is easily cleaned and dishwasher safe.
