Oral Hygiene & Dental Care Information

I recommend Oxyfresh rinse/fluoride rinse and toothpaste. These products have stabilized chlorine dioxide to improve the health of your gums, the rinse also has fluoride to strengthen your teeth. We sell these products in our office; however, if we are out of stock in our office, feel free to call 1-800-333-7374 and use Ref. #C605267368 and it will be shipped directly to your home. We can also give you information by email. All you need to do is fill out our information request and one of our dental professionals will contact you.

I have also found that the Rota-dent toothbrush is a superior product and have seen excellent results with its constant use. The Rota-dent toothbrush can also be purchased in our office. If you would like more information on the Rota-dent, fill out our information request and information will be emailed to you.

Below I have listed some over the counter products that are readily available to you.

  • OXYFRESH/OXYGENE TOOTHPASTE AND FLUORIDATED MOUTHRINSE
    .
  • GLY-OXIDE OR PEROXYL: (Peroxide in a gel like form for brushing). Apply to brush and massage into gums 1 time a day for the next 3-4 days, then use occasionally.

  • JOHNSON AND JOHNSON ACT FLUORIDE RINSE: Use after each brushing.

  • **BIOTENE: Toothpaste, mouthwash or chewing gum helps replenish and boost saliva's natural protection against destructive bacteria.

  • SALT WATER RINSES: Mix 1 teaspoon salt into 8 ounces of warm water. Swish and rinse.

  • TO STERILIZE TOOTHBRUSHES OR ROTA-DENT POINTS AND BRUSHES: Mix 1/4 teaspoon clorox into 8 ounces of warm water and soak for at least 30 minutes, then rinse well. This can be done as needed especially after colds or flu.

  • TO STERILIZE DENTURES OR PARTIALS: Mix 1/4 teaspoon Clorox into 8 ounces of warm water and soak for at least 30 minutes, then rinse well. You can also use vinegar.

**These products contain no alcohol, which has been shown to potentially cause oral cancer..
