If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know I’m a big advocate for good oral health. But did you know that your oral hygiene can be a strong indicator of your overall health? Research has linked poor oral care to serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. That’s why I’m always on the lookout for innovative oral care brands that bring something new to the table.
Last week, I had the chance to attend an event for Ordo, a UK-based oral care brand that’s been making waves in South Africa for over a year. Held at the stunning Noah Hotel in Tamboerskloof, Cape Town, the event took place on what felt like the hottest day of the year (a scorching 37°C!).
Meet Ordo: Affordable, Stylish, and Eco-Friendly Oral Care
The story behind Ordo is inspiring. Founder and CEO Barty Walsh (pictured below) was alarmed by the fact that 1 in 2 people in the UK suffer from gum disease—many due to a lack of access to effective and affordable oral care.
He set out to change that. “Most dental issues are preventable with proper care. Our mission is to make premium oral health products accessible to as many people as possible,” said Walsh.
Ordo collaborates with dental professionals to simplify oral care while maintaining the highest standards. Their philosophy? Master the basics, and everything else follows. A simple, consistent two-minute brushing routine with fluoride toothpaste can make all the difference.
A Smile That’s Healthy and Confident
Ordo offers a full range of products to help you feel good about your smile. From cutting-edge electric toothbrushes to sustainable mouthwash and floss, they’ve thought of everything.
Ordo’s Star Product: The Sonic+ Toothbrush R1,199 (BUY)
The Sonic+ Toothbrush is their best-seller for a reason. It combines sleek design with advanced technology:
1. 40,000 sonic pulses per minute for deep cleaning
2. Four brushing modes: Clean, White, Massage, and Sensitive
3. Two-minute timer with a quad-pacer to ensure a thorough clean
4. Over 4 weeks of battery life
5. Stylish colour options (I love the Pearl Violet colour, pictured above)
How adorable is the kids electric toothbrush range?
Replacement brush heads are only R269 for two—a much better deal than other leading brands.
The Game-Changer: Ordo Hydro Sonic Water Flosser
Flossing just got a major upgrade! The new Ordo Hydro Sonic Water Flosser, R1,399 (BUY) is designed with dentist-approved hydro-kinetic technology to remove plaque and food debris effortlessly.
1. Up to 2000 water pulsations per minute
2. Three pressure settings + 360-degree nozzle rotation
3. Perfect for braces, bridges, and implants
4. More effective and easier than manual flossing
Ordo isn’t just about great oral care—they’re committed to reducing waste. Their concentrated mouthwash is a genius alternative to traditional bottles. The sleek, reusable bottle retails for R179 (BUY) and just ONE 80ml sachet, R149 BUY creates 1400ml of mouthwash, cutting down on plastic waste.
Meanwhile, their Complete Care Toothpaste, R99 (BUY) is vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, and comes in fully recyclable packaging—a big step toward reducing the 1.5 billion toothpaste tubes that end up in landfills every year.
Ordo is shaking up the oral care industry with innovation, style, and sustainability. Whether it’s their Sonic+ Toothbrush, Hydro Sonic Water Flosser, or eco-conscious approach, they’re proving that premium dental care doesn’t have to come at a premium price.
I’m personally excited to see how Ordo continues to grow in South Africa. If you’re looking to upgrade your oral care routine, Ordo might just be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for!
Ordo is available at Clicks, Yuppiechef, Smileshop and Takealot
