9 Gadgets to Make Your Mornings More Pleasant

"Flossing is fun," said one person, somewhere, once, maybe. But you know what's truly not fun at all? Root canals and gingivitis! Keep your gums healthy (and your dentist visits brief) by using the Waterpik Sonic-Fusion 2.0 Flossing Toothbrush ($180). It cleans your teeth and gums thoroughly, even flossing and brushing simultaneously if that's your thing. Look at it like this: if you get one boring task out of the way before 8 a.m., that little sense of accomplishment may carry you to do great things later in the day. And that — along with gleaming teeth — is plenty of reason to smile.
