The editors of Dental Products Report share another look at 5 of the most impactful home care products from the past year.
While the practice is the best place for a patient to receive oral care, it is equally important to encourage patients to keep up on their oral care at home. A great way for dental professionals in the practice to do this is to offer patients products at the appointment that they can take home and use themselves. Toothbrushes, mouthwashes, and flossers can be easily recommended or given to patients who may need the extra help at home. Here we take a look at some of the best home care products from the past year.
