A couple of weeks ago, I posted a $15 mail-in-rebate from Oral-B for their fantastic new Pulsonic™ Electric toothbrush.

The ProfessionalCare® line consists of the 7400, 8850, 8900 DLX OxyJet Center and the 9400 Triumph…

In the most recent Dental Heroes Poll, I’ve asked you to tell me whether you prefer manual or powered toothbrushes. So far, the manual brush lovers are holding a slim lead. The fact that the majority of my readers still use manual toothbrushes could be due to a number of factors. For example, manual toothbrushes are easy to use, inexpensive, comfortable, virtually cleanup-free, etc…

Crest Whitestrips wants to know how you get “your home-and yoursef-picture perfect for every occasion”.

Delta Dental has launched what it has dubbed “The 10,000 Smiles Project.” The concept here is simple. Delta wants to collect 10,000 photos of people smiling. That’s it. If you have a picture of yourself smiling, submit it. Why? Well, if Delta reaches their goal of receiving 10,000 photos of people smiling, they will donate [...]

From time to time Crest likes to offer money-saving coupons on their Whitestrips products.
