Can you reuse interdental brushes?
Interdental brushes are just like regular toothbrushes that can be reused each time you clean your teeth until the bristles become worn.
A worn toothbrush is going to make it more difficult to clean your teeth effectively, so take a look at your brush every day to see if it’s worn out.
What are interdental toothbrushes?
Interdental toothbrushes are smaller toothbrushes which fit between your teeth to clean away all of the plaque and food that builds up there throughout the day.
They’re small enough to fit into the gaps between your teeth and are ideal for those who are looking for a quick and easy way to clean all of the little nooks and crannies that regular brushing can’t reach.
They help to prevent gum disease by removing plaque bacteria from between all of your teeth quickly and effectively.
Do I need to use dental floss if I use interdental brushes?
No, you should choose just one which works best for you - if you use both, it might be too harsh on your gums, which could cause them to become irritated and bleed.
If you have limited mobility, large gaps between your teeth or braces, interdental brushes might be better for you than flossing - but they can cause bleeding and aren’t as longstanding as dental floss.
How do I find the right interdental brush for me?
The best way to discover the perfect interdental brush for you is just to try them!
Pick up the Tandex Flexi Start Kit, which contains a range of different brush sizes at an affordable price so you can try them all without breaking the bank.
When you’ve got the brushes in your hands, just try them out, starting with the smallest size and working up until you find the perfect brush for you.
You may even find that you need different brushes for different areas of your mouth, but you’ll never know until you try!
