The interdental brush, as the name suggests, is used to clean between the teeth and is an indispensable part of our daily life. It is similar to flossing, but it may have a better cleaning power compared to flossing. In addition, a gap brush may be more useful for people with large gaps in their teeth to help clean their oral hygiene, while people with small gaps in their teeth are suitable for flossing.
First, food debris must be removed from between the teeth, usually with a toothpick. However, the commercially available toothpicks are too thick, the small gaps in the teeth (0.3mm or less) can not enter, poking the heavy cases will lead to bleeding gums, but also can not effectively remove debris, long-term use may also lead to the gap between the teeth to become larger. This is when flossing is necessary.
For small gaps, flossing can not only remove food debris, but also clean the bacteria on the surface of the teeth at the gaps (adjacent surfaces of the teeth), which can effectively prevent gingivitis. Flossing is used as a complement to effective brushing. In fact, apart from going to the hospital for a cleaning, flossing can clean the crevices of your teeth more effectively than brushing.
Faddish dental flossers can only rinse away food debris, not the plaque that adheres to the surface of the teeth and between the teeth, and the toothpicks that some people love to use are even more difficult to adequately clean between the teeth. A thin piece of floss can easily be placed between the teeth to scrape away the bacteria without damaging the teeth and gums.
However, very few people around us use dental floss, knowing that the benefits of flossing are irreplaceable by other teeth cleaning appliances. However, when the gap between teeth is bigger, such as 0.3mm or more, the cleaning efficiency of flossing keeps decreasing, and there is even a feeling that the more you pull out the gap, the bigger it gets, and that's when you need to use a gap brush.
People who have tried flossing know that the first time to use time-consuming and laborious, first of all, it is difficult to floss into the teeth, easy to plug in and feel blocked between the teeth, and the gums are very easy to bleed, such a feeling easy to let a person flossing deterrent. So the crevice brush came into being, the crevice brush is used to clean the crevice of the special bristles, shaped like a miniature test tube brush, when used into the crevice pull back and forth can be.
Toothbrush, dental floss, crevice brush should be used in conjunction with the first toothbrush brush, then use dental floss to clean small crevices, and then use the crevice brush to clean large crevices. Be sure to clean the crevice brush after each crevice is cleaned before moving on to the next one.
