Product recommendations

These are the products we find ourselves recommending at the chair, collected in one place. Everyone’s mouth is different — ask us at your next visit which of these fit your situation.

Toothpastes, gum & mouthwashes

  • Spry Gum ↗

    Gum containing xylitol helps disrupt the bacteria in the mouth that cause tooth decay. We recommend chewing 5 sticks a day to prevent cavities.

  • Hello Toothpaste ↗

    A favorite of kids. No SLS, gluten, triclosan, or fillers.

  • Dentalcidin Toothpaste ↗

  • Revitin Toothpaste ↗

    Prebiotic toothpaste that promotes a healthy oral microbiome.
