Sonicare
This was recommended by our dentist, and we've had it for about 2 years without any problems. I find the electric brushing considerably more effective (i.e: "that clean feeling") than manual brushing.
Supposedly, I also have less plaque. Bonus
Go with Pursonic. It's $20-$35, and comes with 12 toothbrush heads, so you're not stuck buying $20 brush head every 6 months. I wish every one of my patients used electric.
Name brand Sonicare also works if money is no object.

Does anyone know of any major differences between "Flexcare" and "Flexcare Platinum" models?
It is funny to me because two Flexcare handles come out to $160 with DiamondClean brush heads, travel cases and all the good stuff. You can get them even cheaper at Costco $120
Meanwhile the Flexcare Platinum is only 1 handle, does not come with DiamondClean brushes or UV sanitizer and all the other goodies and costs $160 for one brush.
Is handle really that different? The only difference I see is the "sensitive mode" with a pressure sensor that reduces aggressive brushing and a newer design?
Is it really worth paying for this newer Flexcare Platinum model that costs more than 2 brushes of greater value?
Am I missing something? Are there any Sonicare experts here?
I use a makeup bag, but something like a travel bag or a shaving bag for men might work better for you. Also, I just got this for Christmas, and it is one of the greatest things I've ever received. I hope this link works. Edit: They come in all different colors.
I know a lot of people are worried if they’ve never gone or if it’s been a long time that they’ll get judged. I personally view a situation like this as more “thank goodness you’re here” and not “why didn’t you come sooner”.
Also if you’re worried about cost most offices will work a payment plan or have resources to help you pay over time.
Let them know upfront that it’s your first time and you’d like some patience and extra explaining for the process.
If there’s a lot of buildup, a cleaning may take multiple visits. Your first visit might even just be an exam and X-rays.
Edit: Under 16 you’ll likely need a parent or guardian with you to consent for your care.
Edit #2, often high end electric toothbrushes will have a cheap model like this sonicare. It does the same action but uses a much cheaper power source and isn’t rechargeable. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NL2AOPU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1519228374&sr=8-2&keywords=sonicare+battery+operated+toothbrush&dpPl=1&dpID=21FAoBDkz5L&ref=plSrch
Please note this will not remove any hard deposit on your teeth, you will need to visit a dentist for that.
TOOTHBRUSH
This is the electric toothbrush I use and recommend: Sonicare Flex Care Plus. It is cheapest at Costco but comes in a pack of 2. It's important to replace the brush head every 3-4 months. Sonicare now has a subscription service to automatically send you a new brush head when it's time to replace, or you can buy the brush heads when you need them; they come out to approx $9 each on amazon but you can get 6 for $50 at Costco and they oftentimes have a $10 instant rebate. If you need to use a manual toothbrush, I recommend the Nimbus manual toothbrush. These Wisps are really handy when you can't brush after eating.
FLOSS
The floss I recommend is Dr. Tung's Smart Floss and you can use this Floss Holder to make it easier to use. (Amazon only sells the floss in packs of 3 or 6 so if you want to purchase a single pack you can find it at Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, or Sprouts.) A Waterpik can also be a great tool, this one is a Handheld Waterpik and is more convenient to use. You can use it in the shower and it takes up less counter space.
TOOTHPASTE/MOUTHWASH
This Crest Gum and Sensitivity paste is one of my favorites and I like Act Total Care mouthwash. When choosing a toothpaste or mouthwash, look for "sodium fluoride" as an active ingredient. It's best to stay away from mouthwashes with alcohol in them and whitening/charcoal pastes because the abrasives in them can damage the teeth. If you use a whitening rinse with hydrogen peroxide, only use it 2-3 times per week to avoid making the gum tissue sensitive. Other than that, whatever you prefer is just fine.
WHITENING
For an inexpensive whitening treatment Crest White Strips are a good option.
check out amazon. currently they have a 30 day free prime membership.

I'm a few inches taller than you and I have these in medium petite. They fit perfectly and that huge pocket works for my stethoscope. Then I use a shirt like this for everything else I need. I fit an astounding amount of items on my person at any given time and I have yet to lose something. I keep everything I'll need for clinicals/lab in a bag like this when I'm not using it. I throw the bag in my backpack the night before so I don't forget it and I load up my pockets when I get to the hospital.
It's a Sonicare. This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KZHP49K
