Interdental brushes

Interdental brushes can be used to clean between the teeth and dental restorations where larger gaps are present. Interdental brushes can be easier to use for patients who find flossing difficult. They are available in different sizes, (colour coded according to size) and with large handles to facilitate their use. They can be particularly useful for interdental cleaning between teeth affected by periodontal disease (disease of the gums and the bone supporting the teeth), dental implants, around dental bridges, braces and dental crowns where dental floss cannot be easily adapted.
