We all focus so much on our makeup and beauty products, but how many of us include perfecting our teeth as part of our daily beauty regime? What with constant photos going up on sites like Facebook and Instagram, we really should pay more attention to our teeth...

One of my best friends recently discovered how great flossing was, she already has a killer smile but she says her teeth feel super 'just-from-the-dentist-clean' since incorporating this into her bedtime ritual and now enjoys flashing her gnashers even more. I know it's something we are supposed to do twice daily, but I struggle to brush my teeth for two whole minutes, let alone adding in flossing! Upon this confession, said bestie marched me along to Boots and dragged me to the dental aisle to buy flossettes (like mini catapults which take the hassle out of cutting your own floss string) and I must admit they are fantastic.

I've also ditched my manual brush and started using my Oral-B Pro 3000. It's not like I think my manual brush is better, (far from it), but I think because you just hold the device rather than wearing your arm out with scrubbing, I feel like I'm not getting my teeth as clean, but truly I think I've been putting off switching to electric because it has a timer and therefore I have to do the full two minutes. It's got a great cross action brush and you can literally feel it blasting away the plaque – gross! There's all kinds of brushes available, depending what kind of power you want and what budget you have. I've noticed several places having offers on Oral-B Pro brushes and would say they are definitely worth investing in/adding to late xmas list/snapping up in January sales!
