Interdental toothbrush
What is an interdental toothbrush and how to use it? Turn brushing with an interdental toothbrush into a daily routine. In this case, your mouth stays healthy and prevents gum inflammation and cavities. Interdental brushes can also be used to clean implants and orthodontic appliances.
Make these toothbrushes part of your daily routine
Did you know that a toothbrush can only reach 60% of the tooth surfaces? Plaque forms between the teeth where a regular toothbrush cannot reach. It is best to use an interdental brush as part of your daily cleaning routine to prevent plaque, decay, inflammation, and bad breath.
Choose the right size
For best results, it's important to choose an interdental brush of the right size. Often, you will need more than one size of toothbrush, and your dental professional can help you choose the right size. If for any reason you do not have access to an orthodontist or dentist, try the interdental toothbrush mix pack to get the right size.
Use your interdental brush once a day, preferably in the evening in front of a mirror. Gently move the brush back and forth several times in each space between the teeth.
Do not use regular toothpaste, as it contains abrasives. Instead, use gum gel with fluoride and chlorhexidine.
