You might be wondering whether an interdental brush can replace string floss – especially if you find traditional floss quite difficult to use. Well, the good news is that various studies have shown that using interdental brushes is an effective alternative to flossing. Interproximal brushing can even be more effective at removing plaque than regular flossing, according to this research. Using the brushes before toothbrushing means you do not wipe away the toothpaste in between your teeth. Do I still need to floss? Interdental brushes are designed for cleaning in between the teeth. Although brushing your teeth with a normal toothbrush does help to keep them clean, it’s not the most effective tool for getting rid of all of the plaque from the space between your teeth. Some people use floss for this task, but dental brushes for between teeth offer another option that can be helpful for more people. Interdental brushes are designed to get in between the teeth, with small bristles and a slimline shape. Unlike a standard toothbrush, they often don’t have a long handle, which gives you plenty of control. Availability of these in different countries will vary. There are also many own brand options available in local shops. Regular interdental brushesSome interdental brushes offer sensitive versions. These are designed to be more gentle on the gums. Dentek also claims to have the only brush on the market with an advanced fluoride coating for even cleaner teeth and stronger enamel. it’s made of “eco-friendly” wood plantation (whatever that means is irrelevant, it’ll always be better for the environment than single-use plastic brushes) They are the most widely known brand for interdental products, with the TePe brush being used interchangeably with interdental brush by many dental professionals.

The brushes themselves are great, and they are cheaper than TePe, but at present there are no good aspects to these brushes when it comes to the environment. Interdental cleaning is also known to prevent tooth loss. Studies show that people who use interdental cleaning aids have more natural teeth than those who rely on brushing alone. TePe is the most well known brand, but it is worth considering other brands that offer what are essentially identical products but may be cheaper.You will have noticed that cheaper alternatives have made it to our best of list. The plastic handle is made from polypropylene/PP/plastic number 5 and is recyclable with most plastic recycling schemes, once the bristle part has been removed.I have tested these interdental brushes. The straight part of the handle is smooth, whilst the tapered end is slightly rougher (which can cause mild irritation to the lips, something I have found with almost all bamboo products, and which isn’t a long term problem as it usually stops after a few days). Bacteria build up on bristles between use – Whilst they can be rinsed off and reused for about a week, bacteria can build up on the bristles. Most people would agree that the Jordan brand is by far the best (sturdy yet flexible wood, more choices of size) The handles are made from bio-based plastic, a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petroleum based plastics. The bristles are made from nylon and are arranged in a straight pattern. The wire core is coated in plastic. Looking for an environmentally responsible way to clean between your teeth?
