Oral hygiene is the cornerstone of a healthy smile, but keeping up with dental care goes beyond the basics of brushing and flossing. Thanks to advancements in dental technology, maintaining optimal oral health has never been easier or more effective. At Dr. Mitzi Morris’ practice in Roswell, we encourage our patients to embrace modern tools that elevate their daily dental care routines.

Here are three innovative dental hygiene tools that are popular among our Roswell patients for their ability to deliver superior cleaning and protection.

1. Electric Toothbrushes: The Smart Way to Brush

Electric toothbrushes have become a game-changer for oral hygiene. Equipped with features like oscillating or sonic vibrations, these devices clean more thoroughly than manual brushing alone.

Why They’re Popular

  • Superior Plaque Removal: Studies show that electric toothbrushes can reduce plaque by up to 21% more than manual brushes.
  • Built-In Timers: Many models include timers to ensure you brush for the dentist-recommended two minutes.
  • Gentle on Gums: Pressure sensors prevent overbrushing, protecting your gums from damage.

Top Picks

  • Oral-B iO Series: Combines oscillating technology with a sleek design and smart app connectivity.
  • Philips Sonicare DiamondClean: Offers high-speed vibrations for an exceptionally thorough clean.

Electric toothbrushes are ideal for anyone looking to upgrade their oral hygiene routine, especially those with limited dexterity or a history of plaque buildup.

2. Water Flossers: An Easier Way to Floss

Flossing is essential for removing debris and plaque between teeth, but traditional floss isn’t always the easiest to use. Enter water flossers, a user-friendly alternative that uses a pressurized stream of water to clean between teeth and along the gumline.

Why They’re Popular

  • Gentle and Effective: Perfect for individuals with sensitive gums or braces.
  • Clinically Proven: Studies show water flossers are as effective—or more so—than traditional floss at reducing gingivitis.
  • Convenient: Easy to use, making flossing less of a chore.

Top Picks

  • Waterpik Aquarius: A reliable choice with multiple pressure settings and a sleek design.
  • Philips Sonicare Power Flosser: Combines water flossing with advanced technology for targeted cleaning.

In Roswell, many of our patients find water flossers to be an essential tool for maintaining gum health, especially if they struggle with traditional flossing techniques.

3. Tongue Scrapers: The Unsung Hero of Oral Hygiene

Bad breath often stems from bacteria on the tongue. A tongue scraper is a simple yet effective tool for removing bacteria and debris, promoting fresher breath and a healthier mouth.

Why They’re Popular

  • Improves Breath: Removes odor-causing bacteria that brushing alone might miss.
  • Supports Overall Oral Health: Reduces the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease.
  • Easy to Use: A quick addition to your routine with noticeable benefits.

Top Picks

  • Stainless Steel Scrapers: Durable, easy to clean, and long-lasting.
  • Plastic Scrapers: Affordable and gentle for beginners.

For Roswell residents looking for a low-cost yet impactful addition to their oral care regimen, tongue scrapers are a fantastic option.

Why Modern Tools Matter for Oral Hygiene

Dental technology continues to evolve, offering tools that make oral care more effective and accessible. Incorporating these innovative devices into your routine can:

  • Enhance your daily cleaning efforts.
  • Reduce your risk of gum disease and cavities.
  • Improve your overall oral and systemic health.

Our Patient Reviews

Mitzi D. Morris, DMD, PC

4.8/ 5.0

Based on 44 reviews

  • Dr. Morris is an excellent dentist. Her ability to relate to her patients makes her a stand-out amongst those in her profession. She practices dentistry with superior technique and care. Her staff is friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I feel she hires only the best! One special mention: I suffer from panic attacks at times- along with claustrophobia. Dr. Morris is the first dentist I have ever had who helped calm my fears. Thus, my experience exceeded expectations! Great service!

    Cathy Q
  • Definitely would recommend Dr. Morris to anyone. She has been my dentist for over 8 years! Dr. Morris is extremely personable and is serious about the completing the best care possible. Great established dental team! Very accommodating to your schedule.

    Kelly T
  • Great and very educational experience. Compared to my last two dentists this experience blows them both out of the water. The staff is very friendly, and very helpful. I had to go in for a total of four visits a few weeks apart from each other. They made me feel very comfortable the entire time and kept making sure I was pleased. Getting a deep cleaning went very smoothly. It was also brought to my attention that the way I was flossing was incorrect. And have since changed methods. I worked specifically with Dr. Morris. She was very nice, and took the time to explain things. Which is a huge plus for me. Dr. Morris and the staff members worked effortlessly together. I was comfortable enough to sit back and relax, strangely enough, while having cavities drilled and fillings put in. Billing and scheduling appointments, as well as follow up for confirmation of upcoming appointments was very easy. I will say my favorite part of the experience was how friendly of an environment the staff has created. That alone is deserving of a 5 star review, and the rest is honestly icing on the cake. I highly recommend this practice on all fronts and will continue using them!

    Eric F
  • I transferred from a long-term and very good relationship with my former dentist because of a move, and I was a little apprehensive about a new dentist. Dr. Morris has been great. She is friendly, patient-concerned and the office is new, comfortable and clean. Everyone seems to enjoy working there. I feel like I'm in good hands!

    Christopher P
  • Dr. Morris and her staff are very professional. Additionally, she as well as her staff have an excellent "bedside manner." The office is new and well equipped. If one has an appointment and an earlier one opens up, Dr. Morris offers it to her patients as she did with my last appointment.

    David G
  • I have never met a staff so nice and charming. This staff will make you feel comfortable and relaxed in Dr. Morris's Spa like office and everyone is professional and approachable too. Andrea R. explained the process of my appointment and procedures and is definitely a highly-educated and thorough dental hygenist -- SHE IS A ROCKSTAR. I'm so glad that Dr. Morris and her dental team have been my "go-to" for the last 5 years, and I wont be going anywhere else! Overall - A++ Dr. Morris...highly recommended to my family and friends!!!

    Adam O
  • I've been a patient of Dr. Mitzi Morris for many years, and recommend her without reservation. The office is modern. clean and spacious. The staff has always been welcoming and very helpful. And the women who work for her as dental technicians are fantastic; they do a professional and effective deep cleaning, but with a careful, gentle touch. It is clear to me that Dr. Morris reads her professional journals and upgrades her practice to stay very current with the latest best practices in dentistry. (I have had some dentists who stopped updating their practices after leaving dental school!) With Dr. Morris you can count on receiving the very latest dental technology. Her prices are very fair, and I have never been surprised by an unexpected cost or had problems with insurance not covering services rendered.

    Bruce C
  • I have never experienced an office so down to earth, so outgoing and so willing to satisfy. If you've grown to dread the dentist then lay down your sword and give this office a shot.
