An effective
prevention solution against cavities
Composed of nylon strands, interdental brushes can dislodge
food residues stuck in the interstices and fight against dental plaque (a
deposit composed among other food residues, bacteria and toxins, which can
damage the enamel and the gums).
To have healthy teeth, prevent caries and periodontal
diseases, the use of a brush, in addition to brushing teeth, is thus of great
use. Indeed, it is recognized that the brushing of teeth (with a manual or
electric toothbrush) is not enough to eliminate the bacteria present in the
interstices, and that it allows to eliminate only 50% of the dental plaque.
Can everyone use an
interdental brush?
Yes! Interdental brushes are a great way to prevent cavities
and each of us can use them. It would be wrong to think that only people with
loose teeth should use them.
Nevertheless, interdental brushes are particularly suitable
for people with wide interdental spaces or those suffering from gum problems
(gingival retraction ...).
Their use is also very practical, even essential, if you
have:
·
periodontitis,
·
a multi-ring orthodontic appliance or an
orthodontic treatment,
·
a dental implant or a bridge,
·
crowns,
·
a bare molar.
Interdental brush,
dental floss, soft-pick or water jet?
Brushes and dental floss are the two most effective solutions
for removing bacteria and plaque that develop between teeth.
Dental floss, thinner than brushes, is ideal for reduced
interdental spaces or when teeth overlap. However, it should be used with great
care because it can cause damage to the taste buds.
The sticks, also known as "soft-picks", only allow
to dislodge stuck food. They have no impact on dental plaque. It is in the same
dental sticks (fluorinated or not) wood, which does not allow access to all
faces of the teeth.
The water jet, also known as hydrojet or dental jet, has the
advantage of being even easier to use than brushes or dental floss. However, it
is much less effective. It is ideal for people with low dexterity of the hand.
How to use an
interdental brush?
The brush is used after thorough brushing. It is enough:
·
to slip the accessory between the teeth without
forcing,
·
to move back and forth while maintaining a
horizontal path.
After use, clean the interdental brush with water and
discard when used.
Our advices:
·
Do only one or two round trips a day between the
teeth.
·
Act gently, a brush may hurt the gum.
·
In case of bleeding gums, prefer dental floss.
·
If your brush has twisted, change it, it could
damage your teeth!
·
Change the interdental brush every 10 days
maximum.
