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.

Why interdental brushing is better than flossing?

  • More effective at removing plaque and food debris

  • Easier to use, especially for those with braces or limited dexterity

  • Gentler on gums and less likely to cause irritation

  • Better for cleaning larger gaps between teeth

  • Encourages daily use by being quicker and more convenient

Keeping your smile bright

01

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.

 
02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
