Happy Thanksgiving!
This entire week is a great time to get deals on electric toothbrushes, hydroxyapatite toothpaste, and much more.
Many of you have asked me via Instagram for a round-up of the Black Friday deals for my favorite oral care products, so here we go:
Best All-in-One Deal with Everything I Recommend
Sonicare DiamondClean
Best Sonic Brush with App

What It Is: Rechargeable electric toothbrush with Bluetooth connectivity

What It Is: Dentist Kit with pretend play set of teeth and dental accessories (26 Toy Pieces)
Why I Like It:

- Eases fear and anxiety for positive, stress-free dentist visits

Why I Like It:
- Made with naturally-derived hydroxyapatite, a mineral that makes up 90% of our tooth enamel
- As effective as fluoride in re-mineralizing tooth structure without the concerns of fluoride
- My granddaughter loves the birthday cake flavor
Jordan Step 1 Baby Toothbrush

FLOSS
RiseWell Hydroxyapatite Floss
Best for Chronic Cavities
Black Friday Deal: Get it here and save 10% by using the code ASKTHEDENTIST upon checkout
What It Is: World’s first and only hydroxyapatite-infused dental floss, letting you get hydroxyapatite to the areas in-between teeth where cavities are most likely to occur in most cases
Why I Like It:
- Delivers re-mineralizing hydroxyapatite to overlooked tight spots between teeth (which is where most cavities develop)
- Floss glides comfortably and smoothly, while expanding slightly for more effective cleaning
SLEEP
Somnifix Mouth Tape
Best Mouth Tape
Black Friday Deal: Use this link to get 15% off the one-pack and three-packs, plus 33% off auto ship
What It Is: Mouth taping is the best health hack out there, in my opinion. By mouth taping nightly, you’ll improve your sleep quality, snoring, dry mouth, immunity, nitric oxide production, and even your susceptibility to cavities.
Why I Like It:
- Does not hurt when it comes off
- Sticky enough to keep your lips closed during sleep, while allowing for your mouth to easily open if you have serious issues breathing through your nose at night
Best Budget Mouth Tape
Black Friday Deal: Get it here for 6% off starting today
What It Is: Best budget mouth tape
Why I Like It:
- OK, it’s only 6% which isn’t much, but if you’re on a budget, this is the best budget alternative to Somnifix
- Does not hurt when it comes off
Good Morning Snore Solution
Best for People with Large Tongues
Black Friday Deal: Get it here and save 30% off by using the code BFBOGO for Good Morning Snore Solution Multi Packs
What It Is: Tongue retention device
Why I Like It:
- Helps to open up the airway for better sleep breathing by holding the tongue out of the way and preventing it from collapsing during deep stages of sleep
- It’s a non-invasive way to see if you benefit from airway-related therapies
Molekule Air Purifier
Black Friday Deal: Get it here and save up to $300 by using the code EARLYACCESS for all their products (except filter parts and Air Pro RX)
What It Is: These purifiers are quieter than most and with their PECO (Photo Electrochemical Oxidation) technology, it actually destroys pollutants, including VOCs and mold.
Why I Like It:
- No matter how you eat or how much you exercise, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly, and that is largely affected by the quality of the air you breathe
- My wife and I have one in every room of the house and have noticed the difference in congestion levels during the day
- Reducing congestion is essential to better nasal breathing, and thus, better sleep quality, which I’m even more obsessed with after reading (and collaborating on) James Nestor’s book, Breath (a must-read!)
Naväge Nasal Care
Black Friday Deal: Get it here for 9% off
What It Is: Nose cleaner and 20 salt pods
Why I Like It:
- Flushes everything out for all-important nasal breathing during sleep
- Works for fast, all-natural relief from allergies and sinus congestion without the use of drugs
