Philips AirFloss Ultra 

While Dr. Tina Tran says that nothing is truly as effective as traditional, manual flossing, the Philips AirFloss Ultra is a convenient alternative to the mundane task. “The Airfloss is portable and lightweight and sprays in controlled pulses, as opposed to an uninterrupted stream, of your preferred choice of mouthwash or water; this gives you more leverage over which areas you're aiming to clean,” shares Dr. Tran.

Looking to step into 2021 with a whiter smile? The Colgate Optic White Overnight Teeth Whitening Pen may be an easy and inexpensive solution. The pen’s gel formula gently whitens teeth as you sleep, and with the addition of its easy to use applicator, is a convenient way to rapidly brighten your pearly whites. “The mechanism of delivery and strength of the formulation may appeal to those who have attempted teeth whitening with strips and ended up with an unsatisfactory degree of whitening or an uncomfortably sensitive result,” comments Dr. Michael Israel. “The treatment did not result in any significant sensitivity, and I would say that I noticed a lightening of approximately one shade after a week of use.”
