The Cheapest Home Dental Polishers - Review

Those looking for an affordable, low-cost way to polish their teeth at home have a variety of oral care products to choose from. Considering how much a typical teeth cleaning and polishing procedure costs at your local dentist (typically $75-$125) - the ability to remove stains and plaque yourself between routine dental appointments is appealing. Currently a cheap dental polisher that's somewhat readily available online is that's generally available for under $15. The very same battery powered polisher is also packaged and labeled as AZDent, OraTec, or The Doctors brands. Strangely, I have never seen it in any of the major pharmacy chains: Walgreens, CVS, RiteAid, or even WalMart simply don't carry rubber-cupped, battery operated tooth polishing tools in their dental/oral care section.

AZDent Dental Polisher

With Batteries & Spare Cups

As you can see , it includes batteries and four extra polishing cups, and features a motorized polishing head atop the handle. A push-to-operate lever starts and stops the motor. Unlike some polishers that just_oscillate_ back and forth, this polisher cup does spin completely around in full 360 degree rotation. This provides effective polishing and teeth buffing action, but does lead to a bit of splattering of paste when in use.

The real drawback that I must mention in this dental polisher review is that with the rather large motor atop the handle, it's basically impossible for anyone with a normal-size mouth to reach or clean their back teeth! You can't reach the backside of your front dental arch either. Ultimately, unless you have a BIG mouth, you won't be able to properly clean and polish the entire mouth  just the front of it.

For around $12, the ability to thoroughly clean, remove stains, buff and polish your front teeth at least provides the major cosmetic benefit consumers desire. But as such, it's better than nothing, worth a try if you're new to DIY dental polishers. Other polishers such as those featured at www.tooth-polishers.com can provide a more comprehensive cleaning and are worth checking out.
