Even though dental professionals don’t recommend in-shower toothbrushing, there are precautions people can take if they can’t bring themselves to break their multitasking oral hygiene routine, according to Amber Bonnaig, doctor of dental surgery and dental director of DentaQuest Georgia, a dental practice in the Peach State.
"For those who brush their teeth in the shower, the most important thing to remember is to store the toothbrush outside of the shower to prevent bacteria, which can grow in the wet shower, from transferring to the toothbrush and eventually the mouth," Bonnaig told Fox News Digital.

Without routine dental visits, dental disease or pain can go untreated, particularly among people with I/DD who may have difficulty communicating. This report proves that providing Medicaid dental benefits for adults with I/DD — 60 percent of whom rely on Medicaid for their health coverage — is more cost-effective than continuing to exclude those benefits. It is also more ethical — coverage would address a significant disparity in care, reduce chronic pain, improve quality of life and bolster self-confidence. And an adult dental Medicaid benefit directly addresses a key gap in health equity for other populations, as well.”

Best Teeth Whitening Pens for Convenient At-Home Brighteningopens in new window
Teeth whitening pens generally contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide (the same ingredients used by professional dentists) as active ingredients to help safely whiten your teeth, according to Amber Bonnaig, D.D.S., dentist at DentaQuest. Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide (which breaks down to release hydrogen peroxide when in contact with water) break down stain-causing compounds, making your teeth appear lighter. Typically, at-home whitening solutions contain about three to 20 percent of these active ingredients, while in-office systems can have anywhere between 15 to 43 percent, says Bonnaig. For best results, avoid smoking and drinking dark beverages as these impact the effectiveness of your teeth whitening with any teeth whitening solution including pens.
