As someone who isn’t a fan of peroxide gels, Chrystle Cu, DDS, a board-certified dentist in San Mateo, California, and Cocofloss founder, recommends vVvardis’s White Enamel Serum. While it’s a splurge, it’s super gentle on enamel. “The formula’s primary brightening ingredient [Hydroxa-Peptide 500] is said to remineralize teeth, which improves enamel’s natural luster,” she explains.

Whatever helps you maintain healthy brushing habits (a.k.a. brushing twice a day for at least two minutes each time), that’s what you should invest in. For those who need help keeping track of time or letting them know when they’re applying too much pressure, an electric toothbrush might be the way to go. “These are far more effective at removing plaque because they’re designed to gently massage teeth and gums correctly, and many now have a pressure sensor that warns you if you’re pressing too hard,” London-based periodontist Reena Wadia previously explained.
Here are four intelligent options from Oral-B (a 2023 Best of Beauty Award winner), Quip, Moon, and Boka for everyday dental health maintenance.

Traditional floss works perfectly fine — however, water flossers may make your life a little easier. These cordless options from Waterpik, Quip, and Boka (meaning they take up less bathroom countertop space) have two or three pressure modes to remove plaque in hard-to-reach areas, stimulate gums, and boost circulation.

Supersmile Professional Teeth Whitening Toothpaste
Hello Naturally Whitening Toothpaste (3-Pack)
Supersmile’s Professional Teeth Whitening Toothpaste contains calcium carbonate, which reduces dental sensitivity, Rhonda Kalasho, DDS, a board-certified dentist in Los Angeles, previously explained. It doesn’t hurt the toothpaste comes in a variety of wonderfully-smelling, bad breath-squashing flavors including rosewater mint and Tahiti vanilla mint.
Infused with 0.76% fluoride, Hello’s Naturally Whitening Toothpaste is flanked by breath-freshening tea tree oil and farm-grown peppermint, as well as soothing coconut oil to quell any irritation. It also has a Seal of Acceptance from the American Dental Association (ADA), so you know it’s safe for everyone.
Colgate Optic White Renewal Toothpaste (2-Pack)
Crest 3D White Toothpaste (4-Pack)
You’re probably already familiar with Colgate Optic White, which is a fluoride-based formula that contains 3% hydrogen peroxide formula to remove discoloration on both the surface of the tooth and inner layers — while also fighting cavities. It’s a household staple for a reason.
If you’re the type to run out of toothpaste without realizing it, stock up on a 4-pack of Crest 3D White Toothpaste. 0.243% sodium fluoride is the star ingredient that removes surface stains and protects teeth against cavities. We don’t blindly trust numbers but a 4.8 rating across 74,000 reviews is very impressive.

Cocofloss 4-Pack Dental Floss
Flossing isn’t a fun task but these two Best of Beauty Award winners might make it more tolerable. Cocofloss (2022 winner) is the floss that got commerce editor Sarah Han to actually start flossing regularly (sorry, dentists, who tried to tell me sooner). It comes in all types of flavors that don’t leave a weird, waxy taste in her mouth and the packaging is pleasing to look at, she points out. Choose between Coconut, Strawberry, or Mixed (Mint, Coconut, Orange, Strawberry) if you’re feeling adventurous.
