5 New Dental Products that You Need to Add to your Medicine Cabinet

 

 

You might look at the dental industry and think that nothing has changed in years. A toothbrush is still a toothbrush, and there’s nothing fancy you can do with floss. Well, if you think that you are set with a toothbrush and some floss, your medicine cabinet is missing out on a lot. New dental products come on the market a lot more frequently than you might realize, and having a few extra products in your arsenal will make proper home dental care much easier. The following items are exciting new dental products on the market that every health conscious person should consider adding to their medicine cabinet.

 

SmartMouth Advanced Clinical Formula Mouthwash

Using SmartMouth is a smart decision for a mouthwash with true longevity. Its sales slogan is “SmartMouth is the only mouthwash that kills germs and provides fresh breath for 12 hours.” It also gets I.Q. points for preventing plaque and gum disease. So what is the genius ingredient behind SmartMouth? Its FDA-approved zinc ions. The Better Business Bureau backs up the statements made by SmartMouth. Clinical studies and peer reviews verify its claims. You may wonder what makes zinc ions so smart. These aggressive entities attack biofilm and block the production of sulfur compounds. Although many mouthwashes kill bacteria and eliminate existing sulfur compounds, only SmartMouth prevents the emergence of new ones. SmartMouth also gets bonus points for being alcohol-free and safe for diabetics and children.

 

Crest Complete Multi-Benefit Extra White + Scope Outlast

Customer reviews give this new toothpaste 5 stars for a fresh-breath feeling that lasts up to 5 times longer than regular toothpaste. They also verify Crest’s claim of revealing a whiter smile. Additionally, the toothpaste protects against tartar and cavities. People report their mouth feels as fresh as after a professional cleaning. They also rave about the peppermint flavor. They like the clean feeling so much that they change their snacking habits. To maintain that fresh feeling, some people are turning away from unhealthy food. Garlic and onion lovers, you’ll be happy to hear that the toothpaste eliminates the tell-tale odor of these foods.

 

Enamelon® Toothpaste

Enamelon is the new superhero against tooth sensitivity. Its patented re-mineralizing formula also prevents cavities and gum disease. Enamelon’s trio of weapons includes fluoride, calcium, and phosphate. These ingredients team up against the pain of cold, heat, contact, acids, and sweets. Enamelon is unique among toothpastes because it’s free of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). This ingredient acts like soap, using a foaming action that dissolves plaque. However, SLS impedes the act of fluoride deposition. The absence of SLS in Enamelon makes it more effective in preventing cavities. It promotes twice the fluoride uptake of other toothpastes. Another unique ingredient in Enamelon is the herb “spilanthes.” It stimulates the flow of saliva, which prevents tooth decay. It also puts the tingle in this toothpaste.

Enamelon was first introduced in the 1990′s, as a sodium fluoride toothpaste. The new formula contains stannous fluoride. This form of fluoride has the added advantage of killing bacteria. With a one-two punch against plaque and bacteria, stannous is more effective at preventing cavities and gum disease.High-fluoride preparations are typically only available at dental offices. Enamelon brings the benefits of stannous fluoride directly to the consumer.

 

Sonicare DiamondClean Electric Toothbrush

This gem of a toothbrush is clinically proven to remove up to 5 times more plaque than a manual toothbrush. It’s reported to whiten teeth in 1 week and improve gum health in 2 weeks. It has 5 modes: clean, gum care, white, polish, and sensitive. The ergonomic handle is Sonicare’s slimmest and lightest to date, and the toothbrush has two charging modes. DiamondClean is a cleaning dynamo, reaching deeply between teeth and along the gum line. However, its vibrating action is gentle, courtesy of diamond-shaped bristles. Two brush head styles are provided, standard and compact. A 2-minute timer helps you to brush the time recommended by dentists. A quad-pacer timer divides the time, so you cover all four quadrants of the mouth.Battery life is an impressive 3 weeks.

 

Crest Glide Comfort Plus Dental Floss

Cresting this year’s Top 10 Flosses is Crest Glide. This new floss is softer than original Glide. It slides easily between teeth without shredding and is gentle on gums. It imparts a fresh minty taste, a nice incentive for flossing. Floss releases easily from the unit, so you don’t have to fight with the dispenser. Dentists agree that it is tops for gently removing food debris, without fraying. Tough on plaque but soft on the gum line, it gets 5 stars from consumers and dentists.

 

Now your medicine cabinet will be complete with the newest, most effective dental products to date. With your new floss, toothpaste, toothbrush, and rinse, you’ll enjoy the benefits of a healthy mouth, and your next dentist visit will be quick and painless.

How to Fix Your Relationship Issues When One of You Has ADD

ADD/ADHD isn’t just a health concern; it interferes with relationship wellness. If one or both of you have ADD/ADHD, misunderstandings, frustrations, and resentments can impact your wellbeing as individuals and as a team, especially if you’ve never received a proper diagnosis or treatment for the condition. Hope is on the horizon, however, as you can turn these problems around and build a healthier, happier partnership. All you need to do is learn about the role ADHD plays in your relationship and how both of you can respond to challenges and communicate with each other in more positive and productive ways.

 

If you’re the one who has ADD/ADHD, it can feel like, no matter what you do, nothing seems to please your partner. You don’t feel respected as an adult, and you’re constantly being criticized, nagged, and micromanaged, which can make you avoid your partner altogether or just say whatever they need to hear in order to get them off your back. When your partner can’t seem to relax or stop trying to control every aspect of your life, you can even wonder what happened to the person you fell in love with.

 

On the other side of the coin, if your partner is the one with ADD/ADHD, it’s all too common to feel lonely, unappreciated and ignored. You feel like the only responsible party in the relationship, and you’re sick and tired of having to shoulder the burden alone. You don’t think you can rely on your partner, as he or she always seems to flake out on promises and forget things. Therefore, you have to take care of everything on your own, or else constantly issue reminders and demands. Sometimes it feels as if your significant other just doesn’t care – about you or the relationship.

 

When you put these points of view together, it’s easy to see how ADD/ADHD – and how each of you responds to it – can contribute to a destructive cycle in the relationship. The more the ADHD partner feels judged and misunderstood, the more they will get defensive and pull away. This causes the non-ADHD partner to feel more alone in their responsibility, and so he or she complains, nags, and becomes increasingly resentful. This makes the person with ADD/ADHD even more withdrawn and, in the end, nobody is happy. However, it doesn’t have to be this way.

 

Walking a mile in your partner’s shoes is the best thing you can do to turn your relationship around. If you’ve been together for a long time, you may think you know your partner pretty well already, and understand where he or she is coming from, but the reason you’re having the same fights again and again is that it’s all too easy to misinterpret your partner actions and intentions. Even if you’ve heard it all before, this doesn’t mean that you’ve actually taken in what your partner is saying – especially in the heat of an argument when it’s hard to maintain objectivity and perspective.

 

When you’re not already in the throws of an argument, and you’re not already upset, find a time to sit down and talk with your partner. Ask your partner to describe how he or she feels and simply listen. Don’t try to interrupt, or explain or defend yourself while your partner is still speaking – let them get it all out. Then, repeat back the points you’ve gleaned from what your partner has said and ask if you’ve understood it all correctly. It may help to write these down. After this, it’s time for your partner to listen to you with fresh ears and an open mind.
