How to use an interdental brush

In daily life, we have to brush our teeth every day, because teeth are very important to us, and we cannot eat without the role of teeth, so we should pay attention to protecting our teeth. The most common way to protect teeth is brushing. There are many kinds of toothbrushes, including ordinary toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes, and interdental brushes. Some people prefer to use interdental brushes to brush their teeth. Interdental brushes have their own unique methods of use.

How to use interdental brush:

1. How to use the J-shaped interdental brush: First, place the brush head as close to the gum edge of the teeth as possible, and insert the interdental brush diagonally into the teeth. Gently rotate the interdental brush into the gaps between teeth and move it back and forth to clean the plaque on each tooth surface. After use, wash the interdental brush with clean water, cover it with the brush cover and store it after it is dry.

2. How to use a V-shaped interdental brush: First, place the brush head as close to the gum edge of the teeth as possible, and insert the interdental brush diagonally into the teeth. Gently rotate the interdental brush into the gaps between teeth and move it back and forth to clean the plaque on each tooth surface. After use, wash the interdental brush with clean water, cover it with the brush cover and store it after it is dry.

3. The interdental brush is divided into two parts: bristles and brush handle. The bristles are cone-shaped and the brush head is detachable. Because the interdental brush is small, soft and deformable, it can brush the gap between two teeth. It is especially suitable for patients with periodontal disease, misaligned teeth, gum recession, exposed root bifurcation or braces. It can also be used for teeth that are being corrected. You only need to insert the brush head into the gap between teeth to be cleaned and move back and forth to achieve the cleaning purpose.

4. Interdental brushes are suitable for situations where there are large gaps between teeth. When you encounter misaligned teeth, gum atrophy, exposed root bifurcation (the bifurcation of the tooth root), or the presence of crowns (brackets) or bridge restorations, it is difficult to clean them with a regular toothbrush or dental floss. You can use a special interdental brush, which can effectively remove plaque from the adjacent surfaces of the teeth.

How to use an interdental brush: Mainly use the head of the interdental brush to clean the dirt between teeth. Keep the gaps between teeth clean. It is mainly used to clean adjacent surfaces of teeth with wider gaps between teeth, such as those with periodontal disease that causes gum recession. When using an interdental brush, simply insert it into the gap between teeth and move it back and forth to clean the adjacent surfaces of the teeth.
