Let’s dive in!

What Toothpaste Do Longevity Experts Use?
Longevity biohackers like Bryan Johnson, as well as our own team, use Sensodyne Repair and Protect.
In his video “Top 1% Sleep Ranking”, there is a scene in his bathroom where you can see this toothpaste appear on the counter.
Best Toothbrush for Longevity
It’s optimal to use an electric toothbrush with toothpaste like Sensodyne.
In one of his YouTube videos, we identified the Oral-B Pro 5000.
He brushes for approximately two minutes per session.
Best Water Pik for Longevity
Another important oral hygiene tool is the water pik.
These devices are becoming more and more popular as portable, hand-held versions are more affordable.
Based on personal experience, these devices are better at cleaning between teeth toward the back of your mouth.
They often clear out additional debris that flossing misses.
Best Floss for Longevity
In his oral hygiene overview, we spotted Bryan using Oral-B brand floss.
The good news is that this is easy to find in most stores and won’t break the bank.
While many people neglect flossing, it’s incredibly important for managing plaque levels in the mouth.
Tea Tree Oil for Oral Health
Some biohackers use Tea Tree essential oil drops diluted with water.
One popular brand is Plant Therapy.
One option we discovered involved swishing two drops in your mouth before rinsing and spitting.
Warning: Using essential oil for internal use is commonly discouraged, so please use caution and do your own research before adopting this protocol.
While there is some scientific literature on tea tree oil, it is widely recommended to use a safe, diluted alternative.
Plaque index is a critical indicator for oral health that we can improve with these protocols.
Both an improvement in diet and regular use of a tea tree oil rinse could contribute to improving this overall oral health.
Bruxism and Teeth Grinding
Many struggle with stress-related bruxism or grinding of the teeth.
People often try to address this by wearing a sports mouthguard at night but for some it may make matters worse.
One often recommended product is called SomnoDent Avant
