There are three plans. OneOral is $9.99/month: message a licensed dentist and share photos, get ongoing dentist check-ins, and pay member prices on kits, whitening and gum. Nothing ships automatically on it. OneOral+ is $29.99/month and adds a Treatment Box (CariFree Maintenance Rinse and Gel 1100 toothpaste) every 3 months with free shipping. Power Pack is $44.99/month: the Treatment Box plus whitening, energy gum and breath mints or oral spray. Sales tax is added where it applies.
OneOral renews monthly; cancelling stops the next renewal and access continues until the end of the period you paid for. OneOral+ and Power Pack bill monthly in cycles of 3 payments per box. Cancelling stops the next cycle and its box; the remaining payments for the current cycle are still collected on their normal dates. Full details are in the plan terms.
Start by sending a photo or describing what’s going on. With a membership you can message a licensed dentist about it. OneOral is designed for most adults and complements — never replaces — your regular in-person checkups.
No. OneOral is not insurance and you don’t need any. Each plan is a flat monthly price, plus sales tax where it applies.
On any plan you can message a licensed dentist and share photos. On OneOral+ and Power Pack, your first box ships once your first payment is made. The Treatment Box (and Power Pack’s mints or spray) then ships every 3 months; Power Pack’s whitening and energy gum ship every 6 months. Shipping is free, to US addresses only.
When clinically appropriate and permitted for your situation, a licensed dentist can send a prescription to your local pharmacy for pickup. Prescriptions are not guaranteed. Pharmacy charges may apply; some concerns require in-person dental treatment.
