Be yourself

Home care compliance and individuality are closely related. Here we take a look at four unique patient personalities and highlight basic essentials that should have a place in their medicine cabinet.

Groovy “green” patients

For those free spirited, tree-hugging patients interested in environmentally friendly, organic home care products, these options should satisfy even the most ecological dental needs.

Sensitive Care Toothpaste from Tom’s of Maine

The foaming properties of glycyrrhizin (from purified licorice root) replace the need for SLS or an SLS alternative. The toothpaste contains potassium nitrate to reduce tooth sensitivity. Xylitol, gentle glycerin and organic aloe are soothing while the natural flavor oils leave the mouth feeling clean and fresh.

Impressionable kids

For children, establishing good oral healthcare habits early on is key. These products should help encourage positive daily routines for healthy teeth.

FireFly Children's Toothbrush from Dr. Fresh Inc. 

Using a 60-second musical timer, the FireFly Boppin Barnyard Musical Timer Toothbrush encourages children to brush their teeth. With the press of a button on the handle, the tune “Old MacDonald” plays for one minute, the amount of time recommended to completely brush one row of teeth. Children can press the button again and brush their second row of teeth after the song stops. Other themed brushes, including the Spiderman Light-Up Toothbrush, are available.
