#4. Waterpik WP-900 Water Flosser and Sonic Toothbrush Complete Care ($70 @ Amazon.com)
Expect healthier gums and teeth in just two weeks. How? Better plaque removal — the Waterpik and Sonic Toothbrush are 52 percent more effective at doing that than Sonicare Flexcare. Plus, the water pressure and pulsations enable the device to clean between the teeth more efficiently than standard flossing. Also included: a travel case and the knowledge you supported Old Glory by purchasing something made in the USA! Everyone together: USA! USA! USA!
#5. Custom Night Guard ($90 @ Amazon.com)
Bruxism is the egghead term for grinding your teeth. Whether your grinding is caused by stress, anxiety or an overbite, it’s best to take care of it to prevent your chompers from turning into nubby Chicklets.
These custom nightguards are three millimeters thick and are made with FDA-approved EVA material that contains no BPA or plasticides. Each guard is made to fit your bite and is more dependable that those cheap, flimsy guards you find at the store. You can expect a dentist-made one to run you in excess of $300 (and that’s on the low end).
