It's January and for many of us, that means we're thinking about our health a lot. If you're someone who likes to set intentions this time of year, taking better care of your teeth and mouth health is a great route to take. Think about it: It's pretty low investment, but high reward. In other words, it doesn't require you to join a gym or try an elimination diet or make any drastic or expensive changes to your routine. Instead, you can just take a few extra minutes each night to care about and care for your oral health.

If you're not exactly jumping up and down at the thought of this, I get it. Getting inspired about oral health doesn't exactly come naturally to most of us. Until, that is, you learn about all the amazing oral health products on the market. I rounded up 10 that are guaranteed to inspire you to focus on your pearly whites this year.

Tom's Cool Mountain Mint Mouthwash

Many holistic dentists recommend staying away from conventional mouthwashes because they contain alcohol and harsh ingredients that can disrupt the natural environment of your mouth. This mouthwash is full of natural ingredients—and is fluoride-free, with no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives—but still works like a charm. It's formulated with zinc, which is known for neutralizing order without the crazy burning caused by other popular mouthwashes.


Cool Mountain Mint Wicked Fresh!™ Mouthwash, Tom's, $4.25

My Magic Mud Activated Charcoal Toothpaste

This toothpaste is really one of a kind. It has a spicy cinnamon flavor, really leaves a fresh taste in your mouth, and uses the power of activated charcoal to whiten and clean. It's perfect for people with sensitive teeth who can't use conventional whitening toothpastes. Expert tip: Keep this one in your shower, and brush in there, as it can get pretty messy.


Activated Charcoal Toothpaste Cinnamon Clove, My Magic Mud, $18 (for a set of two)

Philips Sonicare Airfloss Ultra Waterpik

A waterpik is another great way to invest in your oral health this year. Machines like this one reach places traditional floss can't, and as a bonus, the pressure from the water can help improve gum health. It's a great pick for those of us who feel like flossing is a hassle; it's incredibly easy to use and makes your mouth feel noticeably cleaner. You'll be addicted in no time.

Hello Natural Whitening Toothpaste

This toothpaste looks cute as can be sitting on your sink and leaves your mouth feeling wonderfully clean and fresh. It's formulated with tea tree oil and coconut oil, which have natural antimicrobial properties, and farm-grown mint. And in fact, it actually does smell like the mint was plucked off the plant that very day. Hello has a ton of other dental health products worth checking out too, including a toothbrush with charcoal-infused bristles.

We already know the oral microbiome is important for fresh breath and a healthy mouth, but did you know it's important for your whole-body health, too?

Luckily, these oral probiotics are formulated with fresh peppermint to freshen breath, promote optimal tooth and gum health, and replenish your mouth's population of friendly bacteria.
