A Guide to Luxury Oral Care
Oral care can be so personal. We've compiled a list of items to elevate your oral care routine.
As the world spins through trends and moments, hyper-specific ways to better ourselves, fixations on this serum that will fix your skin completely and therein your life, that moisturizer that will no longer make you fear aging! (Did we fear aging before this moisturizer told us if we used it we wouldn't?) we have landed on oral care. Oral care, while seemingly unexciting and as bland as a trip to the dentist, is actually a deeply important part of your overall health. We've created a guide that incorporates luxury elements and allows you to elevate your oral care routine past the mundane.
The tried and true Sonicare—a long-time best friend to those who are veterans in luxury oral care. The Sonicare DiamondClean Smart 9300 comes in five different colors and includes a brush with a microchip embedded, sending data directly to your phone to ensure that your teeth are receiving proper care.
If you're looking for something slightly more portable than the Sonicare, Quip has you covered. Their sensitive sonic vibrations, two-minute timer with 30-second pulses, soft nylon bristles, flexible brush head, and the tongue scrub on the back allow for a deep clean anywhere you are. The custom bundle gives it all to you in one place—with the toothbrush, large anticavity toothpaste, refillable floss string, and cavity preventing gum with the options for add ons.
Did you stop wearing your retainer due to laziness and said retainer was then lost in the ether? Or do you just simply want straighter teeth? Invisalign is the fastest (results in as little as six months!) and most comfortable way to get straighter teeth. They're removable and invisible—which allows you to continue caring for your teeth throughout the treatment the same as you always have.
The magnum opus of oral care—whitening toothpaste. This toothpaste by Edelweiss was the winner of the 2021 GQ Grooming awards, so you know it's good. It whitens your teeth (and veneers!) up to 10 shades while also strengthening, remineralizing, and repairing enamel. This Swiss-made product is peroxide-free and safe for sensitive teeth and gums.
For fresh breath and a healthier smile, this water flosser makes flossing the easiest it's ever been, therein making each dentist appointment easier than the next, (no more lying about flossing!) Burst's water flosser has a rotating tip, allowing you to access even the most difficult of spots. It also comes in four different colors, which is always fun.
Bits! Mouthwash on the go! And TSA-friendly! These bits by Bite are the first-ever mouthwash tablets. Fighting bad breath, killing bacteria, decreasing tooth sensitivity, whitening teeth, and restoring enamel has never been so easy. Simply bite the bit, take a drink of water, swish it around, and spit.
Your tongue is one of the most important factors when it comes to fresh breath. Tongue cleaners have been used for centuries due to their anti-microbial properties. This tongue scraper by Keeko, made of 100% pure copper, which kills germs on contact, scrapes away tongue bacteria and allows for fresh breath all day long. A necessary step in your oral care routine.
One practice often done in conjunction with tongue scraping is oil pulling, a process that involves swishing oil around in your mouth to remove bacteria. Terra & Co's Ayurvedic blend of coconut and activated charcoal promotes salivation production, whitens teeth, and removes bacteria. It is ideal for those with sensitive teeth.
Oral care can often produce a lot of waste—Elims is working to eliminate that. Their melt-away teeth whitening masks whiten up to seven shades lighter in just two weeks while having 33 percent less packaging than other whitening strips.
Olas—which translates to "waves" in Spanish—is deeply inspired by the cleansing properties of the ocean, the logo, the marine bioactive ingredients, and the packaging thoroughly reflect that. This cruelty-free formula is free of sodium laurel sulfate, fluoride, alcohol, artificial colors, and fragrances. A much-needed step in elevating your oral care routine.
