If there is one thing worth investing in, it’s your smile.

We’ve identified some products that might point you in the right direction when it comes to oral health and the perfect smile.
Oral hygiene technology has leapt into a whole other universe in recent years, with the Oclean X Ultra serving as proof.

Not to mention an interactive colour touch screen, a powerful maglev 3.0 motor, a dynamic TurboClean™ algorithm, the world-first FlexFit™ flexible brush heads, five brushing modes, WiFi, a pressure sensor light, quick charging and a rechargeable, long-lasting battery. If that doesn’t impress you, perhaps its on-screen weather forecast might!

Hailing from Spain and now also available in South Africa, the Balene toothbrush is another revolutionary tool for oral hygiene, with a rotating, dual-sided head. Its unique features allow for simultaneous cleaning – inside, outside and on chewing surfaces. The toothbrush’s head rotates 180°, making it easy to reach every area without changing hands and it comes with a built-in tongue cleaner too.

The skin around your lips and nose are some of the most delicate and therefore, it’s important to know how to protect and soothe it. If you suffer from chapped, red and inflamed lips, Letibalm’s Nose & Lip Rapair might be worth trying. It restores the skin barrier, soothes inflammation and forms a protective layer to prevent further chapping. Plus, it’s suitable for adults and children aged three years and older, which makes it a great product to keep at hand for the whole family this summer.

Designed to make interdental cleaning easier and more effective, GUM Soft-Picks PRO is a combination of a toothpick and a toothbrush.

They come in a handy travel case for those on the go.
