Cheap Dental Products?

Does anyone know where you can get cheap dental products e.g. interspace brushes, floss etc. My hygienist recommended a website called dentocare (https://www.dentocare.co.uk) as being cheaper than buying things from the surgery but they are still not that cheap. As I have to use a lot of these things just to stop my gums from getting inflamed I would love to find a cheaper source.
Any help appreciated.

I don't know the current price but we buy Morrisons Dental Floss (100 metres) which is cheaper than well known brands.
When we've shopped in the USA, their drug stores have an amazing range of dental products (dental mirrors etc)..........at low prices too. That won't help you buying in the UK:rolleyes: but it's worth remembering if you're planning a trip to the states.10 Dec 2007 - Led Zeppelin - I was there. :j [/COLOR]:cool2: I wear my 50 (gold/red/white) blood donations pin badge with pride.

Cheap toothbrushes have much rougher bristles, and can lead to abrasion cavities much more quickly.
Avoid cheap toothbrushes.
If you can get decent toothbrushes more cheaply, that is a different matter.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -
Probably the best way to look at it is to buy the best products available and learn how to use them efficiently. This way, even though the initial outlay may be more, you may not need as many hygienist visits and thus will save money in the long run!0
