A It is a small brush that can be
held between your thumb and your fingers. Interdental
brushes are available in various sizes which enables
you to choose which size is most suitable for you.
You may need to use more than one size to enable
you to effectively clean all spaces between your
teeth.
A Over the course of a day, food
and debris get lodged in between your teeth, and
in any gaps you may have. If left, this debris can
cause dental decay and gum disease. Removing food
debris with an interdental brush will help keep your
breath fresh. Cleaning in between your teeth makes
sure that you are cleaning your mouth as thoroughly
as possible.
A No. These small brushes should be used
as part of your normal oral hygiene routine to be effective.
A You will know that there are certain places
in your mouth that are difficult to reach with your normal
brush. There are also some gaps between your teeth that your
toothbrush will not be able to access.

A With its small bristles and tiny
bottle type head the brush can be moved between the
teeth to remove debris and plaque that will not have
been removed by your usual toothbrush.
A Select a suitable sized interdental
brush. Never force the brush between the teeth. Between
front teeth, use a finer brush, a twisting movement
eases the brush comfortably between the teeth. Remove
the brush by gently pulling thereby removing plaque
and debris. Repeat the twisting motion to re-insert
and pull out several times until you are satisfied
the space is clean. For larger spaces nearer the
back of the mouth, a larger headed brush should be
selected. To be as effective as possible, shape the
head into a "banana" curve. You will then
be able to easily locate and clean the space effectively.
Rinsing the brush enables you to use the brush again.
A You don't need to be in the bathroom
to be able to clean interdentally. You don't even
need to do it at the same as you brush your teeth.
You could be anywhere.
