A few weeks back, I told you how I was going to participate in a regiment of brushing, flossing, and using a mouthwash to try to reduce my overall plaque level. I wanted to personally use a new regiment and find out what works for me, before recommending it to my patients. I happen to LOVE Crest and Oral B so when I found out I was going to be testing some of their new products to help reduce plaque and prevent new plaque from forming on my teeth, I was very excited. I started following my new regiment about one month ago and I have noticed visibly healthier teeth. I have also been raving about some of my new Crest and Oral B products that I have tried and trying to get my patients to try out them. I have seem some great results in reduction of gingivitis and overall healthy gums. My patients have been telling me that by using the system of brushing, flossing, and using a mouthwash, they have that same sparkling clean feeling that they get when they leave my hygienist’s chair. I love to hear this.
So what is my regiment? It is simple: I follow three steps. First, I use Glide Pro-Health floss. This floss protects against gingivitis, cavities, and bad breath. It has a fresh mint flavor which is awesome to keep your mouth smelling fresh. This Glide floss slides up to 50% more easily in tight space. By using this floss, one is effectively removing plaque and food particles in-between teeth to help prevent cavities.
Next, I use Crest Pro-Health Clinical Plaque Control on my new Oral B Pro-Health Clinical Pro-Flex toothbrush. The Clinical Pro-Flex has flexing sides that adjust to the unique curves and contours of your teeth, including the gum line, for a superior clean vs. an ordinary brush. Because of its flexibility, Clinical Pro-Flex is gentle on gums too! I use this toothbrush in conjunction with the Crest Pro-Health toothpaste that helps protect against cavities, gingivitis, plaque, sensitivity, and tartar. It also helps freshen breath while getting your teeth white and bright.
Last I use the Crest Pro-Health Mouthwash. This oral rinse prevents against gingivitis and plaque. It helps reduces plaque and even helps prevents plaque re-growth. It will help reverse gingivitis in 2 weeks time! Using this mouthwash will kill 99% of germs to improve ones breath.
I have been following this plan now for one month and plan to continue using these four amazing products. Being a dentist, there are so many products to choose from, but as I said before, Crest and Oral B are two dental names that come up everyday in the dental office. Why not try to reduce the plaque in your mouth and have a healthy smile? Teeth are incredibly important so be kind to them! Check out how to get started by reading on their website about the Crest and Oral-B Pro-Health Clinical Plaque Control Program.
*I wrote this review while participating in a test drive campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Crest and Oral-B and received product samples to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central Consulting sent me a promotional gift to thank me for taking the time to participate.
I’ve never used crest before (we don’t have it in South Africa) maybe it’s time to try it!! Especially after reading this review!!
I love Crest and Oral B, they are my go to
I currently use the glide floss and the regular Pro-Health toothpaste. I am interested in trying the clinical (especially for the hubby), toothbrush and the mouth-wash. I always want to have my own teeth!!
We love Crest and Oral-B products. It’s nice to hear from a dentist. Thanks for the post. And flossing it SO important. Like seeing you floss!
I am a huge fan of Oral B toothbrushes and Crest is always a name you can trust. Good to know they have the dentist’s endorsement. The Chief Blonde
Love these products! And to actually SEE them endorsed by a dentist is a super cool plus!
I love my Oral B toothbrush!
My son also loved using these products he loves that mouthwash especially!
Great post – I always wondered what dentists use themselves!

I have been wanting to try the Pro-Health mouthwash. I love Oral B toothbrushes.
Floss floss floss! I’ll have to try the Pro-Health mouthwash now! Thanks for sharing! Great review!
Oh I need to do this! I always start out strong for 2 days then it dies down. But this regimen looks great- I must star flossing again LOL
That floss is my favorite:)) We use Sensodyne toothpaste, which helps a lot with our sensitive teeth. Hey you should do a review on a teeth whitening product. Something I want to get done so bad but have to focus on getting my cavities filled, wisdom teeth pulled, and repairing a root canal after this little baby here:)
I am goint to try it. I love to floss and brush my teeth. The mouth wash I always forget. The best feeling is a clean mouth.
Okay so confession time: I AM SCARED TO DEATH OF DENTIST! So the fact that I like you says a lot.
We don’t get Creat here but I sure love Oral-B toothbrush. My family even the kids always follow this regime, too. floss, brush and mouthwash. my daughter likes it a lot whenever her dentist tells her she has lovely teeth and she proudly says how much she takes care of them ^^)
You’re too cute, Mel
I love Crest. It’s my favorite brand to use. I’ll have to try this out!
