Interdental brushing - quick overview

What is interdental brushing?

Interdental brushing is all about cleaning the tiny gaps between your teeth, places where your regular toothbrush can’t get to. These small spaces are hotspots for plaque buildup and can lead to gum problems if not cleaned well. That’s where interdental brushes come in handy. They are tiny brushes specifically made to clean between your teeth, removing hidden plaque and bits of food.

Keeping your smile bright

Interdental brushes sizing

Interdental toothbrushes are available in different sizes. You may require a range of sizes for different teeth in your mouth. Never force the brush. It should fit snugly, ensuring you reach all sides of the interdental space.

Interdental cleaning method

When using interdental brushes, you don’t need to scrub between your teeth. Moving the brush backwards and forwards once or twice is enough.

When to use interdental brush

Get into the routine of using your interdental brushes every time you clean your teeth. This will keep the space between your teeth fresh and prevent bacteria from building.

Interdental brushing and bleeding

It is very common for you to experience bleeding when you first start using interdental brushes. Don’t worry; this is quite normal and caused by bacteria movement from the gums. The bleeding will stop after a few days when your gums become healthier.

Why can't I just use regular floss?

Regular floss is great for removing plaque between teeth, but interdental brushes can be more effective for cleaning wider gaps and around braces or dental work. They can also be easier to handle and provide a more thorough cleaning.

How do I choose the right size interdental brush?

The size of the interdental brush depends on the size of the spaces between your teeth. It’s best to start with a small size and try different ones until you find a fit that’s snug but not too tight. Your dentist can also recommend the best size for you.

How often should I use an interdental brush?

It’s recommended to use an interdental brush at least once daily, ideally as part of your evening oral hygiene routine, to remove all food particles and plaque before bedtime.

Can interdental brushing damage my gums?

If done correctly, interdental brushing should not damage your gums. Use gentle motions without forcing the brush into small spaces. If you experience bleeding, it may be a sign of gum inflammation, but this should improve with regular cleaning. If bleeding persists, reach out to our team, and we’ll be able to help.

How do I clean my interdental brush?

Rinse your interdental brush under running water after each use. Occasionally, you can soak it in antiseptic mouthwash to keep it clean. Replace your interdental brush when the bristles become worn or bent, typically after about a week of use.

Would recommend this practice really friendly atmosphere.. I have had treatment to replace an old bridge along with veneers with Afsa and implants with Hamid and couldn’t be happier the result looks so natural. Thanks to Debbie and the whole team for making this happen and for welcoming me every time I visit.. Jane

I have been a patient at Aesthetique for over 18 months . Surprisingly it is a proper proper dental practice. I would highly recommend primarily for that. Compared with other practices, and I have been to 3 others, this is pure elite .

I cannot recommend Aesthetique Dental Care enough! I came in with severe facial swelling and toothache after struggling to get help elsewhere. Other dentists were unsure how to proceed, leaving me in pain and without a solution. However, from the moment I arrived at Aesthetique, I received exceptional care from Dr. Asfa, Elisha, and Dana.

They went above and beyond to diagnose and treat my issue, providing the care I desperately needed. Without them I would still be suffering from the swelling and tooth pain. Their professionalism and dedication to their patients are truly unmatched.

If you are looking for a dental practice that genuinely cares and delivers outstanding service, Aesthetique Dental Care is the place to go!

My dentist Omar was very diligent with how I wanted my teeth to look, and made sure I was aware of what was going on every step of the way. I’m very happy with the result! Highly recommend

I've used Aesthetique Dental Practice for years and never wrote a review. I used their services today & the standard is as high as always! Clean reception & environment, high technology & honest staff that know what they're doing, talking about & are happy to provide you with detailed explanations if needed. The reason I use this dentist is because, once upon a time, I needed help & treatment quickly, no other dentist in the area would see me. Aesthetique Dental Practice made time for me when I needed help. Honest, professional, respectful & caring. That's the thing, they care and like anything in life, you get what you pay for however, they were there when I needed them most & that's something I cannot ignore! I hope this helps.

Can’t recommend these guys enough! I’m quite anxious with dental stuff but everyone here is so nice it makes it way easier to deal with. I had a filling done with Omar and Shelly and they were both amazing, they put me at ease and did a great job on my teeth. I’ve also seen Sam for a hygienist appointment and she was lovely too!

I have recently had 2 different implant procedures by Dr Ferakh. For someone that has dental anxiety, I couldn’t be happier with the step by step information I was given on each visit. Each procedure was discussed in detail together with timings, making me feel completely at ease, so much so the final fitting was done without the need for an aesthetic. The end result is perfect, they feel like they are my own. Thanks to the great work by the team, I now have a full set of teeth for the first time in over 20 years!

I always have such a pleasant experience at Aesthetique!

The professionalism and kindness of all the staff truly stood out. Dentist Ferakh and assistant Dana were absolutely wonderful, making me feel comfortable and at ease throughout my appointments. They went above and beyond to accommodate my dental work needs within the limited time frame I had.
The hygienist was also fantastic.

I highly recommend Aesthetique to anyone seeking exceptional care, and I will definitely be returning in the future.

Thank you all for your outstanding service!

I've recently gone through a dental plan with the team here. For someone who has had a poor past experience with Dental care in the past, I lost the confidence and had anxiety towards visiting another dentist. I can say I was impressed with the team in this practice, they are very welcoming, professional and considerate of my experience with them. I 100% recommend them for anyone looking for a dentist as they are an excellent team. Thank you to all the staff at Aesthetique Dental Care for your patience and the support you've all provided!
