With new dental products showing up what seems like daily on shelves everywhere, it can be overwhelming to decide on what toothbrushes, mouthwashes, and floss is best for you and your family. Don’t worry, our team at Norge Dental Center is here to help!
Just like how you keep a running list of favorite recipes on your Pinterest board, we keep a list of various oral health products that we love and recommend to our patients. Below you’ll find our recommendations for toothbrushes, mouthwashes and floss brands.
Note: We love electric toothbrushes because they have an in-handle timer to keep you brushing the full two minutes. Sometimes when we’re in a hurry to get out the door it’s easy to cut our brushing and/or flossing time short. Electric toothbrushes hold us accountable for our oral health.
Toothbrush Recommendations

Built with two cleaning modes and three intensity levels, this toothbrush provides the superior deep clean you’re looking for while being safe on gentle areas.
