One of the best parts about what I get to do in my 'other job' outside of clinical practice is to tinker with new products. Between my work with Dental Products Report and my product consulting, I get exposure to lots of new ideas, new concepts, and new companies. One of those newer companies is Oclean, a company that makes oral hygiene products.
Everyone in the profession knows how much dentistry has changed with the influx of all things digital, but the entire home care space has changed as well. Powered toothbrushes and water flossers (oral irrigators) are now mainstream consumer products. I've seen estimates stating that the growth of powered toothbrushes will expand to $1.275 billion by 2032. Obviously consumers love 'electric toothbrushes' and the benefits they provide.
So today, I'd like to make you aware of some products made by Oclean that I've been trying and have enjoyed using. Patients have a lot of choices when they go to the oral healthcare aisle of a store and those choices can be overwhelming. Lately, I've been impressed with powered brushes that have apps which connect the brush to your phone and offer live brushing coaching to help patients as they brush. One of the toothbrushes from Oclean, the X Ultra S comes with that as part of the purchase and I am really glad they do. This is especially true of the "Personalized Brushing Report" that the patient can review. This is also a great feature for parents that want to check on their child's brushing habits or individuals who are taking care of an older family member. Being able to check and make sure kids and adults needing elder care are taking care of their teeth is critical.
The company was founded in 2016 and has a line of both powered toothbrushes and powered interdental cleaners. This fall I've tried several of their different devices and I'm happy to tell you that I've had a good experience with all of them. Now that we're in the full swing of the holiday season, some of you may be looking for gifts that won't put a big dent in your bank account. Oclean products have performed really well and the fact that they are affordable is a plus.
