EVERYDAY ORAL HEALTH

Interdental brushes

Interdental brushes can be a practical way to clean the small spaces between teeth, particularly where gums have receded or dental work creates larger gaps.

Choosing a size

The correct brush should fit gently without forcing. Different parts of your mouth may need different sizes.

Using them safely

Insert the brush carefully between teeth and move it back and forth. Your hygienist can recommend appropriate sizes and show you how to avoid damaging delicate tissues.

Practical steps to remember

  • Use the right size for each space
  • Never force the brush
  • Clean bridges and implants as advised
