Collection: Interdental Cleaning

Interdental cleaning is an important part of the daily oral hygiene routine, allowing the remaining 40% of the mouth uncovered by a toothbrush to be effectively cleaned. An alternative to dental floss is interdental brushes. These brushes are designed specifically for cleaning between the teeth, below the gum line and around appliances (e.g bridges and braces). Suitable for anything but the tightest of contact points, most people tend to find these somewhat easier to get to grips with and less time consuming than flossing. For optimal cleaning, it is important to choose an interdental brush of the right size to avoid any damage or discomfort of the gums. Very often more than one brush size is needed for different areas of the teeth. It is important to note that toothpaste should not be used with interdental brushes due to it containing abrasives. Instead, interdental gels are encouraged for a smoother and more comfortable experience.
