If your area is still under a lockdown, you probably had to cancel quite a number of appointments and if your visit to the dentist was one of them, your oral health could be at risk.  Lack of regular cleanings and preventative care could lead to oral diseases and periodontal (gum) disease.  With different states facing different restrictions, it might take a while before you get an appointment with your dentist. If you do get appointment, you may feel uncomfortable to make a visit to the dentist’s office with the pandemic situation still not under control yet.

Oral hygiene can be well managed at home if you get the right essential dental products  to take care of your teeth and gums while you wait to get back to your favorite dentist. Besides the twice or thrice a day brushing, the following products are essentials in your oral care:

1.  Waxed Dental Floss
Flossing is an important step in your daily dental hygiene that you must not overlook for healthy gums, tartar reduction, and removing plaque and food remnants in between teeth, which toothbrush cannot.

2.  Water Flosser
A water flosser is recommended for people who wear braces as well as those who have gum disease, gum recession, or bridge work.  A water flosser works using a combo of water pressure and pulsations. When you direct the water from the flosser tip at your gum line and between your teeth, the pressure and pulsations clean away harmful plaque and food debris.

The water flosser from Meyarn is pocket-size and can be stashed in your bag or pocket.

3.  Interdental Brush
Interdental brushes help to prevent gum disease by getting rid of pieces of food and plaque from between your teeth. They have small bristled heads designed to clean between your teeth, and they come in different widths to suit the sizes of the gaps.

4.  Teeth Whitening Pen
A teeth whitening pen can remove years of stains from your teeth in just minutes. It is pen-sized and you can conveniently bring it everywhere with you.  They are thin, plastic tubes that house a whitening gel.

The teeth whitening pens from Meyarn are sleek and can be easily kept in your pocket or bag for use any time.

5.  Mouth Wash
Mouthwash or oral rinse, is a liquid product used to rinse your teeth, gums, and mouth. It usually contains an antiseptic agent or essential oil to kill harmful bacteria that can live between your teeth and on your tongue.  They are used to prevent bad breath and tooth decay.

6.  Tongue Scraper
Tongue scrapers, or tongue brushes, are designed specifically to clean the surface of your tongue by scraping off the layer of debris and bacteria on the tongue. This will reduce the risk of gum disease, bad breath, cavities and other oral health.

Proper oral care can help ensure a lifetime of good oral health. All it takes is several minutes at least twice a day and this can save you a lot of money on major dental restorative works.  Meyarn has a complete range of oral health tools that you can get online at the comfort of your home while you stay sheltered at home.
