Oral Care: Invest In A Perfect Smile
Written by: Renate Engelbrecht
If there is one thing worth investing in, it’s your smile. Whether it’s for a proper confidence boost, to seal the deal (professionally or romantically) or for health reasons, oral health is more important than ever. We’ve identified some products that might point you in the right direction when it comes to oral health and the perfect smile.
A Toothbrush That Does It All
Oral hygiene technology has leapt into a whole other universe in recent years, with the Oclean X Ultra serving as proof. Ultimately, it’s your personal brushing coach, with an AI voice guidance feature that uses bone conduction soundwave technology, which assists you to achieve the optimal oral health. 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!
Price: R3 999.00, from www.ivohealth.co.za and selected dental practices.
The ultimate rotating toothbrush
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. Its new-generation Tyflex® bristles are soft, durable, effective and antibacterial.
Price: R350, from Dis-Chem, as well as selected pharmacies and dental practices.
Letibalm Lip Repair
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.
Price: R109 for a 10ml tube or jar, from Dis-Chem, selected Checkers, pharmacies and retailers.
GUM Soft-Picks PRO
Designed to make interdental cleaning easier and more effective, GUM Soft-Picks PRO is a combination of a toothpick and a toothbrush. It’s super helpful while travelling, since it comes with the convenience of a toothpick, but also the plaque-busting power of an interdental brush. They come in a handy travel case for those on the go.
Price: R164 for a pack of 30 picks and a complimentary travel case, from Dis-Chem, selected dental practices and pharmacies.
So, there you have it – four top products that will keep your smile bright and beautiful.
