National Dental Hygiene Month 2022: Our Top Ten Oral Health Care Products

National Dental Hygiene Month spotlights a component of health that can be easy to overlook. Proper oral hygiene not only means healthier teeth and gums, it can also improve your self-image, reduce your risk of infection and inflammation elsewhere in the body, and even lower your risk of heart disease! Read on for our top ten oral care products to keep you smiling bright.

Our Top 10 Oral Care Products

1. Colgate PreviDent Oral Rinse

Colgate PreviDent Oral Rinse is a mint flavored dental rinse that specifically targets root caries and tooth decay. We know that having any medical condition, such as Dry Mouth, makes it difficult to keep healthy teeth, healthy gums, and a healthy mouth in general. 

This rinse is meant to change all of that. Containing 0.2% of neutral sodium fluoride, it works hard to reduce root caries, and prevent decay. Our rinse comes with an easy to use dose cap for patient convenience and compliance. Leave your teeth feeling healthy, clean, and supported by using the PreviDent rinse once a day!

2. Colgate PreviDent 5000 Booster Plus

PreviDent 5000 Booster Plus is an extremely effective oral care toothpaste that contains a high fluoride content. The fluoride helps to increase the tooth's resistance to acids from penetrating through the tooth's enamel. 

PreviDent 5000 Booster Plus has a liquid gel formula that ensures better remineralization of your roots after only 10 days. With the 1.1% concentration of sodium fluoride, this toothpaste helps reverse white lesions, caters toward sensitive teeth and gums, protects enamel, and is ideal for patients who have a high risk for root caries.

This product is Colgate's most advanced formula, coming in two flavors: spearmint and fruitastic. PreviDent can be used on adults and children ages 6 years and older.

3. 10-Pack MI Paste Plus Variety Pack, 5 Flavors

Made with GC America's patented recaldent and sodium fluoride formula, MI Paste Plus oral health paste offers cavity, dry mouth and dental sensitivity protection in a variety of flavors. This cream ensures healthy teeth and gums by restoring mineral imbalances and oral acid levels that cause white spots and cavities for a healthier, whiter smile.

Simply apply twice daily with a finger, applicator or dental tray, wait 2-3 minutes and swallow or rinse. MI Paste Plus is designed to be used before and after tooth whitening, during and following orthodontic treatment, for dry mouth relief and prevention, and for erosion protection. 

4. 10 Pack MI Paste Oral Paste Variety Pack - 5 Flavors

If you can't use fluoride that is contained in the product above, the next best choice is right here in the original MI Paste product. MI Paste, by GC America is a variety pack that offers a range of flavor choices all in one box. It helps restore demineralized tooth areas, reduce white spots, and prevent dry mouth. Made with a patented formula, MI Paste replaces lost minerals, and improves saliva flow and fluoride uptake for healthier, stronger, longer-lasting teeth. MI Paste offers your teeth the protection that toothpaste can’t provide alone. Designed for easy application and safe ingestion, apply twice daily after brushing with a fluoridated toothpaste.

5. MI Paste One Anti-Cavity Toothpaste, Fresh Mint

MI Paste One Anti-Cavity Toothpaste, Fresh Mint is a 2-n-1 application (toothpaste and MI Paste Plus) that contains recaldent and fluoride, in a cool mint flavor. This product presents another way to treat sensitivity, re-mineralize tooth enamel and prevent white spot lesions. Imagine a simple, single step for treatment and cleaning. As a replacement for your current toothpaste, it gives you the same power of MI Paste Plus, but in a single application. Now, rather than brushing first then applying MI Paste and/or MI Paste Plus, you'll simply brush with MI Paste ONE. 

6. GC America Dry Mouth Gel

GC America, a leader in oral and dental health products such as MI Paste and MI Paste Plus, developed a great-tasting oral gel that will relieve dry mouth. This gel is long lasting, can easily be applied at any time, and can be used multiple times throughout the day, as needed. Simply place a generous amount of GC dry mouth gel onto your finger or tongue, and smear over the surfaces of the teeth and oral tissues. GC America Oral Dry Mouth Gel has a neutral pH, pleasant taste, and is both sugar and alcohol free. 

7. Listerine Antiseptic Mouthwash - Cool Mint, 250mL

Listerine Antiseptic Mouthwash provides 24 hour protection against germs causing plaque, bad breath, and gum diseases, such as gingivitis. A simple 30 second rinse, in addition to your normal brushing routine, is all that is needed to harvest the antimicrobial properties of this popular, ADA approved mouthwash. 

8. Colgate PreviDent 5000 Enamel Protect

Colgate PreviDent 5000 Enamel Protect is designed to help strengthen teeth and stop painful sensitivity. This product is a self-topical, neutral fluoride toothpaste containing 1.1% sodium fluoride and 5% potassium nitrate. Enamel Protect also allows you to protect your teeth from decay, cavities, and acid wear. PreviDent 5000 Enamel Protect reverses early root caries and has clinically proven to reduce sensitivity. Studies have proven that this product significantly re-mineralized root caries by 38% in 3 months, and by 57% in just 6 months.
