Toothbrushes & Electric Brushes
An electric toothbrush with a pressure sensor and built-in timer removes more plaque than manual brushing for most patients — these are the two models I recommend most often.
Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100
A reliable sonic brush with a visual pressure sensor, 9 brush settings, and a 2-minute QuadPacer timer — a great everyday choice for most patients who want a step up from a basic model.
Oral-B iO Series 6
A step up from earlier iO models, with an interactive display, 5 cleaning modes, and the same smart pressure sensing and gentle micro-vibrating brush head — a favorite for patients who want a more premium clean or have sensitive gums.
Soft-Bristle Electric Brush Heads
Swapping in a soft, sensitive-formula brush head every 3 months keeps your electric toothbrush effective while being gentler on sensitive teeth and receding gums. Pick the set that matches your handle.
Floss & Interdental Cleaners
Brushing alone only cleans about 60% of each tooth's surface. These tools help clear plaque and food from between teeth, along the gumline, and around braces or bridges.
GUM Soft-Picks Original
Flexible rubber picks that make daily interdental cleaning quick and comfortable — a great option for patients who find string floss difficult to use.
GUM Expanding Waxed Floss
Expands as it's used to clean wider surface area between teeth — a comfortable, dependable choice for traditional flossing.
GUM Proxabrush Go-Betweens (Proxy Brushes)
Small, angled interdental brushes that clean between wider gaps, around braces, bridges, and implants where floss can't reach as easily.
Waterpik ION Professional Cordless Water Flosser
A rechargeable, cordless water flosser with 10 pressure settings and 7 interchangeable tips, so the whole family can use one unit. ADA-accepted and great for braces, implants, and crowns.
Cocofloss (by Cocolab)
A dentist-designed, plush woven floss with hundreds of interwoven fibers that grips and lifts away plaque better than thin string floss — a great option for patients who want extra polish on their flossing routine.
Dr. Tung's Smart Floss
A natural, PTFE/PFAS-free floss that expands as it slides between teeth to clean a wider surface area — a good fit for patients who prefer a cleaner ingredient list without giving up performance.
Toothpaste, Mouthwash & Fresh Breath
The right toothpaste and rinse can make a real difference for sensitivity, dry mouth, and cavity protection. A couple of these are prescription-strength — ask about them at your next visit.
Sensodyne Pronamel Intensive Enamel Repair
Helps reharden and strengthen worn enamel while relieving sensitivity to hot, cold, and sweets — a good daily toothpaste for patients with sensitive teeth.
PreviDent 5000 Prescription-Strength Fluoride Toothpaste
A high-fluoride toothpaste prescribed for patients at higher risk of cavities or with a history of enamel erosion. Requires a prescription — ask Dr. Hanrahan at your next visit.
ACT Dry Mouth Anticavity Fluoride Mouthwash
Alcohol-free rinse with xylitol that soothes dry mouth while still delivering cavity-fighting fluoride — great for patients on medications that reduce saliva.
Biotene Oral Rinse for Dry Mouth
A gentle, alcohol-free rinse that helps relieve dry mouth symptoms and freshens breath — a good alternative if you prefer a fluoride-free option.
Epic Xylitol Peppermint Gum
100% xylitol gum that helps reduce cavity-causing bacteria and stimulates saliva flow — a great sugar-free habit to chew after meals or coffee when you can't brush.
Spry Xylitol Peppermint Mints
Sugar-free mints sweetened entirely with xylitol — freshens breath while helping reduce the cavity-causing bacteria's ability to produce acid.
Whitening, Night Guards & Retainer Care
For patients who've had whitening trays, a night guard, or a retainer made with us, here are the refill and cleaning products I recommend to keep them working well.
Opalescence Go 15% Prefilled Whitening Trays
Convenient, prefilled disposable whitening trays from Opalescence — the same whitening brand we use in-office. Best results come after we confirm your teeth and gums are ready for whitening.
Opalescence PF Take-Home Whitening Gel (20% Carbamide Peroxide)
Professional-strength whitening gel used with a custom tray we fit for you in-office — a step up from Opalescence Go for patients who want a deeper, dentist-supervised whitening result. Note: Opalescence's syringe gels come in 10%, 15%, 20%, and 35% strengths rather than 22% — we'll help you pick the right one at your visit.
SmartGuard Dentist-Designed Night Guard
A dentist-designed, boil-and-bite night guard for occasional teeth grinding or clenching. For a precise, long-term fit, ask about a custom occlusal guard made from your own impressions.
Plackers Grind No More Disposable Night Guard
A ready-to-wear, disposable night guard with no boiling or molding required — a convenient option for occasional use or travel, or while you wait for a custom guard.
Ultrasonic Retainer & Guard Cleaning Pod
A small ultrasonic cleaning device that uses sound waves to lift plaque, buildup, and odor from retainers, night guards, and aligners in minutes — a deeper clean than soaking alone.
Retainer Brite Cleaning Tablets
Daily effervescent cleaning tablets that remove plaque, odor, and buildup from retainers, night guards, and clear aligners — keeps appliances fresh between office cleanings.
GUM Orthodontic Wax
Soothing wax with Vitamin E and aloe that covers brackets, wires, or the edges of a retainer or guard that are irritating your cheeks or lips.
