These clever toothbrushes sport extra-thin "flossing" bristles to help clean deeper and more gently into grooves and gums. They're 10 times thinner than typical bristles, making them more suitable for sensitive gums and teeth. Plus, reviewers really love it, with one saying it “feels like a fresh dental cleaning” every time they brush.

Promising review: “This is hands down my favorite manual flossing toothbrush! I’ve tried so many brands over the years, but none compare to this one. The bristles are designed to clean between teeth like floss, so my mouth always feels extra fresh and polished after brushing. I also love that it has silver infused into the brush, which helps keep it clean and hygienic between uses such a smart feature! It’s the perfect balance of gentle and effective, and my gums have never been happier. Honestly, this is the only place I can find a high-quality toothbrush like this anywhere, and I always come back to stock up. If you care about a truly deep clean without irritation, you’ll love this toothbrush as much as I do!” — Jae Ve

That toothbrush of yours? Yeah, it’s actually disgusting. Dr. Gary Liu, a pediatric dentist at Kind Smiles in California, previously told HuffPost that germs can live between 24 hours and a few weeks on the surface of your old toothbrush. If you’re sick, that also presents a small risk of reinfection if your toothbrush hasn’t had the proper time to breathe and completely dry out between uses.
