Dr. Dent's Dental Desensitization Kit
This kit was designed by Special Needs Dentist, Dr. Jacob Dent, and the Triple Bristle toothbrush creator, Dr. Max Babiner to help individuals who struggle with dental anxiety and sensory issues. The kit allows parents, caregivers, teachers, and therapists the opportunity to simulate a trip to the dentist at home, school, or in the therapist’s office.
Inside the box are common dental items that with practice, can help individuals overcome some of their fears and desensitize them for their next dental visit. Most of the items included with the kit will likely be used during dental procedures and routine cleanings in a dental office setting. Watch the demo video to find out more.

Did you know most people only brush their teeth for 45 seconds and repeatedly miss the same spots? Statistically, most people don’t brush 33% of tooth surfaces and then wonder why their gums bleed and cavities begin lurking at the gumline.
One obvious solution is to change the brush head so that it brushes all 3 sides at once at the recommended 45-degree angle. Add in sonic vibration which can further foam up toothpaste and disrupt bacteria and you have a powerful oral hygiene instrument that sweeps away plaque and ensures gum health. Best of all - it’s actually easier than traditional brushing so you get to experience incredible benefits without any additional effort.
