Interdental brushes

When working with this talented twosome, you may be tempted to repeatedly move the brush in and out of each gap, wiggling it about a bit. However, just one swift in-out movement is sufficient, followed by a quick rinse in-between and a tidy-up with the pick. That’s the easy part and now for the quick bit: we timed everyone at edel+white HQ and we estimate that the brushing process should take no longer than a minute, plus any extra time you feel necessary to fine-tune your clean with the pick. This is not so much time added to your twice-daily routine, but cleaning interdentally will save you a lot of time – and money! – in the long run and our Brush Picks are amongst the quickest and easiest ways to do so

We’re sure you’re well aware by now that our mouths are full of bacteria. These bacteria are survivalists. They choose to settle in locations in which they’re unlikely to be disturbed. Though some gather on the surfaces of our teeth in-between brushings, the clever ones secrete themselves away into places that most toothbrushes can’t reach, such as the interdental spaces.

Plaque is soft and can be easily cleaned away with regular brushing – yes, that means the interdental spaces too! If you do not remove plaque, layer upon layer more bacteria will settle creating the powered-up version known as tartar, which is hard in all senses of the word! Unlike plaque, tartar cannot be removed with a toothbrush – not even a powerful sonic one. It requires a dental professional and their descaling tools. If you skip the dentist, the
mighty tartar prevents you from cleaning the area that lies beneath it, which can eventually lead to a cavity. Not only is this very painful, but if left untreated, you could eventually lose the tooth.

Some statistics for the number-lovers reading this: 40% of each tooth is concealed within the interdental region. If you neglect to brush this area, it’s the equivalent of leaving on average more than 12 whole teeth uncleaned. As many people do in fact neglect their interdental spaces, it is unsurprising that over 80% of cavities develop in-between teeth. This is quickly and easily avoided – even on-the-go – with handy tools such as our Brush Picks.

1. Put the cap on the handle for extension.
2. Insert the brush slowly and gently into the interdental space andthen pull it straight back. First, brush the easy-to-reach front teeth;you don’t need to insert the brush again.
3. Never twist the brushes: simply push and pull straight and repeatthis for every interdental space.
4. To reach your back teeth, slightly bend the neck of the handle andthe brush
