TFCs Favourites Products to Recommend

These are some of the products I recommend regularly in practice to my patient to help them with their home care regime.

These are not adverts or brand affiliated products, just oral health products I use myself or products that have received positive reviews and feedback from my patients over the years.

Some items will not be suitable for all patients. Always read the ingredients and check for allergens. As always please follow any individual advice given by your dentist or hygienist 

Interdental Brushes

Interdental brushes are a great way to clean the spaces your toothbrush can’t reach. They’re especially helpful if you have wider gaps, braces, or dental work. I love recommending these to my patients because they make it easy to keep gums healthy and prevent plaque build-up between teeth.

Single Tufted Brush (Interspace Brush)

This little brush is amazing for getting into those tricky spots that regular brushes miss  like around braces, implants, or the back molars. The small tuft of bristles makes it easy to clean precisely where you need it. I often recommend this to patients who want that extra level of care in their oral hygiene routine.

Oral-B Satin Floss

This is my personal favourite floss, the one I use myself! Oral-B Satin Floss glides smoothly between teeth, making it easy and comfortable to use. It has a refreshing mint flavour that leaves your mouth feeling clean and fresh after every use. Perfect for anyone who wants flossing to feel quick and effortless

.

Long handled interdental brushes 

perfect for difficult to access areas. the long handled make is easier to reach all angles in the mouth.

Disclosing tablets

a fun and efficient way to test your brushing, disclosing tablets highlight plaque, they show you new and old plaque and help you spot areas you may not be brushing as well. they are great fir testing children’s brushing habits and a good way to motivate ALL patients to remove ALL plaque during brushing, the bright blue and pink make it clear where plaque is being left behind, try them and test for yourself. I am sure you will be surprised at how much plaque can be left behind after brushing

Floss Picks

I call these ‘floss on a stick’ , perfect for people who can not use interdental brushes but find floss hard to handle. floss can be a bit tricky so these can be easier to navigate in the mouth.

Oral B Superfloss

Perfect for getting under bridges and in-between teeth. it has a softer section of floss that feel more comfortable brushing against the gums and catching any hidden plaque under bridges, there is a slightly stiffer section on one end which makes it a lot easier to get under the bridge to clean. a must for anyone who has a dental bridge.

Sensodyne 

A go to for people with sensitive teeth. It helps to reduce the symptoms of sensitive teeth

I very rarely recommend mouthwash. Plaque is the biggest cause of decay and gum disease and mouthwash doesn’t remove plaque. but this month (if used at a separate time from brushing) is really nice. minty but not too strong it leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean. It is alcohol-free, antiseptic and also has a small amount of fluoride which is always a plus. I buy mine online as it’s not available in any local supermarkets.

 

Colgate Total

an original brand and toothpaste. Great flavour and scientifically proven to help oral health. It’s an all-rounder for me and the toothpaste I use daily.
