Dental Products For You
Here are our top recommendations so you continue to optimize your dental care even outside of our office.
Toothpaste
We strongly recommend CariFree products because they’re scientifically proven to prevent cavities, but we also have alternative over-the-counter product recommendations.
CariFree CTx4 Gel 1000 is a great choice for toothpaste because it stops cavities, prevents tooth decay, and white spots. You only need a small amount!
Contact our office to order CariFree Products or order on Amazon.
Sensodyne Pronamel is an alternative for CariFree toothpaste, offering protection for teeth while not being too abrasive.
Note: Other toothpaste products may be too abrasive for your teeth, but when shopping for a new toothpaste, be sure to find one with fluoride and the ADA seal of approval.
Electric Toothbrush
Our Smile Connection dentist highly recommends these electric toothbrushes. All you need is the most basic model, but we suggest one with a two-minute timer!
