Below are some of our most commonly recommended oral care products. Of course if you have any questions at all, please reach out and we can guide you in the right direction!
The Cordless Advanced Waterpik is our choice for ease of use. You can even use it in the shower. Just keep in mind to properly clean all areas, you'll need to fill the reservoir twice.

Aquarius is a fully featured water flosser featuring enhanced pressure with 10 settings for a custom clean, massage mode for gum stimulation, plus a built-in timer/pacer pauses briefly at 30 secs and 1 min to track flossing time
Features a large reservoir for 90+ seconds of use, no refilling required. Small maneuverable flossing wand makes it easy to floss all areas including back teeth.
An electric toothbrush can be significantly better at cleaning teeth, with studies showing they reduce plaque by up to 21% and gingivitis by 11% compared to manual brushes, especially when used correctly. They are often easier to use and ensure better technique, particularly for those with limited dexterity, thanks to features like built-in timers and consistent, automated brush head movements
Proxabrushes are beneficial for cleaning between teeth to remove plaque and food particles, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease. They are particularly useful for those with braces, bridges, or other dental work, and for people who find traditional flossing difficult. Other benefits include easier cleaning in hard-to-reach areas and improved gum health from plaque reduction.
The refined dental-grade baking soda is less abrasive than other toothpastes, meaning it can effectively remove surface stains without damaging tooth enamel. The unique baking soda formula dissolves and penetrates into hard-to-reach areas, such as in between teeth and along the gum line, for a deep clean that standard toothpastes may miss. This action helps lift and eliminate stains throughout the mouth.
XyliMelts are small, oral-adhering discs that slowly release xylitol and soothing moisture to provide long-lasting relief from dry mouth—especially overnight. They adhere comfortably to the gums, stimulate saliva flow, reduce mouth dryness, and help neutralize acids that contribute to tooth decay. XyliMelts are an excellent option for patients experiencing medication-related dry mouth, CPAP use, mouth-breathing, or chronic xerostomia.
