A bright smile starts with great dental hygiene, and this electric toothbrush will give your teeth a powerfully deep clean. It uses gentle micro-vibrations and a pressure sensor to effectively clean your teeth while protecting your gums from damage. Plus, the pulsating timer ensures you’re brushing for the proper amount of time. Opt for the “whitening” setting — the brush comes with five brushing settings —  and you’ll have a whiter smile in no time.

Teeth-whitening kits can be finicky and slow — but not this one from Smile Direct Club. Use the whitening pen and LED accelerator light for five minutes twice a day to effectively lift stains in just one week. The kit includes six months’ worth of supplies for just $40, so it’s much more cost-effective than a traditional whitening kit.

If all your toothpaste does is polish your teeth and gums, it’s time to upgrade to a formula that goes above and beyond. Crest 3D White toothpaste packs a powerful punch, removing up to 80 percent of surface stains and preventing future ones. It’ll also keep your enamel in good shape, help to prevent cavities, and it has a fresh, minty taste that leaves your mouth feeling seriously clean.

Expensive electric toothbrushes aren’t the only ones that deliver an effective clean. This under-$20 toothbrush is battery-powered and much more budget-friendly than other models, but it still features a built-in timer, a sonic vibration motor, and even a vented travel case, so it’s just as efficient. It doesn’t hurt that it’s sleek and stylish, too.

These days, it seems like there’s an app for everything, so why should your dental care be any different? This smart sonic toothbrush works with the Hum by Colgate app to track the frequency, duration, and effectiveness of your brushing routine. You can use this information to form better habits and give extra attention to the spots that need it. The more you brush (and the better you brush), the more points you’ll receive to use towards rewards like replacement brush heads. Consider this the future of brushing.
