Various tools for home use in fighting dental problems

Toothbrush - a brush used to clean the teeth by removing plaque from the teeth and stimulating the gums.
Dental floss - thin, thread-like material used to clean the areas between teeth and under the gum line.
Dental toothpick - may be used to clean between teeth.
- Toothpicks are an ancient device for cleaning the teeth. The Roman poet, Pliny, wrote in the 1st century about cleaning the gums with a toothpick made from the bones of puffin fish. Other toothpick materials included gold, ivory, and bronze.
- Some toothpicks include tiny bristles at right angles to the toothbrush end. These increase effectiveness by acting like a small bottle cleaner or pipe cleaner to remove plaque and food debris.
Toothpaste - a preparation used on the toothbrush to clean teeth.
- Colgate Total® is the only toothpaste that’s FDA approved to fight the gum disease gingivitis.
Mouthwash - Often includes oxygenation agents, helps wash away germs, and gets rid of bad breath
- Chinese and other ancient civilizations used urine as a mouthwash
- Rinsing your mouth 2 times a day with Listerine Antiseptic, (morning and night), can be nearly as effective as flossing in fighting plaque and gingivitis, although it should not be used as a replacement for flossing

Sulcus brush - tool for stimulating the gums. Gum stimulation can help prevent infection
