Happy Thanksgiving!
This entire week is a great time to get deals on electric toothbrushes, hydroxyapatite toothpaste, and much more.
Many of you have asked me via Instagram for a round-up of the Black Friday deals for my favorite oral care products, so here we go:

Best All-in-One Deal with Everything I Recommend
Black Friday Deal: Use the link here and save an additional 15% by using the code ASKTHEDDS at checkout.
What It Is: Overall, this is the best deal with the full suite of everything I recommend: a sonic electric toothbrush which outperforms oscillatory electric brushes at getting into the in-between spaces, two replacement heads two tubes of hydroxyapatite toothpaste, and two manual brushes and floss.
Why I Like It:
This is the hydroxyapatite toothpaste I use daily, which has cured my sensitivityThe active ingredient, hydroxyapatite, is as effective as fluoride in re-mineralizing tooth structure, but without the toxicity concerns of fluorideThe refills program, because so much of gum recession and sensitivity is caused by not replacing toothbrush heads as often as we should (every 4-8 weeks)
