Daily brushing and flossing are essential—but sometimes your smile needs a little extra support. At The Center of Dentistry in Timonium, MD, we help patients find the right oral hygiene aids to make home care more effective, especially if you have specific dental needs or want to strengthen your routine.

Whether you’re managing gum sensitivity, wearing braces, or just looking to improve your brushing technique, we’re here to recommend tools that make a real difference.

What Are Oral Hygiene Aids?

Oral hygiene aids are tools and products that help you clean your teeth and gums more thoroughly between dental visits. While your toothbrush and floss are the basics, additional aids can target areas that are hard to reach or need extra attention.

These may include:

• Interdental brushes
  
• Soft picks or rubber tips
  
• Water flossers
  
• Tongue scrapers
  
• Electric toothbrushes
  
• Fluoride rinses or prescription toothpaste
  

We’ll walk you through what might be most helpful based on your oral health, habits, and any appliances (like braces or bridges) you may have.
