Brushing and flossing are still the foundation of good oral health, but today’s dental care technology has leveled up. Thanks to dentist-recommended innovations, keeping your teeth healthy and clean is easier and more effective than ever before.
Our team at All Smiles Family Dentistry in Omaha has compiled this 2025 list of the best dental products, all personally vetted and clinically recommended to protect your smile and support long-term oral wellness.
Understanding Nano-Hydroxyapatite: The Future of Enamel Protection
Your teeth are made of hydroxyapatite, a natural mineral found in tooth enamel and bone. Nano-hydroxyapatite is a synthetic version of that same mineral, designed to fill in microscopic holes in the enamel. It actively supports enamel remineralization, helping to slow down or reverse early tooth decay—without sensitivity.
That’s why many of our favorite products now feature this advanced ingredient.
Toothpaste Picks – Fluoride and Non-Fluoride Options
We’re excited to offer recommendations for Dr. Jen’s Superpaste, a top-tier toothpaste that includes high levels of fluoride and nanohydroxyapatite in a spherical form, making it exceptionally effective at remineralizing enamel and reducing sensitivity.
Prefer to go fluoride-free? Try Dr. Jen’s Non-Fluoride Paste with nanohydroxyapatite—the perfect solution for those seeking natural protection without sacrificing cavity defense.
Other top options:
- Carifree toothpaste: A great cavity-preventing formula that helps balance your mouth’s pH.
- Sensodyne (OTC): A trusted go-to for patients with sensitive teeth.

Electric Toothbrushes – Smart and Effective Cleaning
While manual brushing still works, electric toothbrushes offer more precision and power. Our favorites?
Oral-B: Electric toothbrushes are a game-changer, and Oral-B Sonicare is one of our top choices for patients of all ages. Why we love it:
- Built-in 2-minute timer to ensure thorough brushing
- Light indicator to let you know if you’re brushing too hard or too softly
- Smart head and sonic technology for effective plaque removal and gum protection

Mouthwash: Rethink the Routine
While traditional mouthwash may give a minty-clean feel, many also kill beneficial bacteria, disrupting your mouth’s natural balance.
That’s why we don’t recommend most over-the-counter rinses—but there are exceptions. During your next visit, ask us about mouthwash options that support a healthy oral microbiome without alcohol or harsh additives.
Most patients use mouthwash as a way to freshen their breath. Fluoride varnish, on the other hand, is meant to help control caries (cavities). While some mouthwashes may contain fluoride, they should not be categorized together. Fluoride varnish is an in-office treatment applied by dental professionals, while mouthwash is an over-the-counter product that patients can purchase and use on their own. Keeping these categories separate helps prevent confusion and ensures that patients understand the distinct purpose each one serves.
Professional Whitening Options – No Sensitivity Needed
Skip the outdated strips and harsh bleaching kits. Our top 2025 whitening picks include:
- Opalescence Go Trays: These pre-filled trays are convenient and user-friendly—just pop them in and go. Great for quick at-home brightening before a big event or a confidence boost.
- KoR Whitening: The gold standard for professional, in-office bleaching with minimal sensitivity.
- Perio Protect Trays: These dual-purpose trays not only help brighten your smile, they’re also designed to reduce gum inflammation and fight harmful bacteria under the gumline.
Your Omaha dentist can help determine the right whitening system for your needs and goals.
Dry Mouth and Mouth Sores – Smart Support Options
If you struggle with dry mouth or frequent mouth sores, we have targeted solutions that won’t harm your oral tissue.
- All Day Spray with Xylitol: Hydrates your mouth while reducing cavity-causing bacteria.
- Perio Sciences Gel: Ideal for healing mouth sores. Unlike traditional products, it doesn’t inhibit fibroblasts, so it supports natural healing better than chlorhexidine (CHX).
Talk to our dental team to see if these products are right for you or your family.
Bonus: Interdental Tools for Extra Clean Teeth
Alongside flossing, interdental cleaning is crucial for oral health—especially if you wear braces, implants or have tight teeth.
- Proxybrushes: These mini brushes clean areas floss can’t reach, helping reduce plaque and prevent gum inflammation.
- Perio Protect trays (as mentioned above) also help flush out hard-to-reach bacteria under the gumline.
