Brushing your teeth should be your priority when it comes to maintaining a healthy mouth. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste is essential for a healthy smile, but there is one simple addition that can drastically improve your oral health: interdental cleaning.
While brushing your teeth is the most
effective way to keep them clean, it only reaches 60% of the surface area.
Cleaning in between the gaps in your teeth with the best interdental brushes is
one of the simplest and most important things you can do to improve the health
of your smile. If you are no sure which is the best brush is best for you,
visit the best dental clinic in Dombivli to know the best and affordable
interdental brushes for your oral needs.
Why Is It So Important To Clean Between
Your Teeth?
Plaque can accumulate in between the teeth,
where a normal toothbrush cannot reach.
Over time, plaque deposit can lead to gum
inflammation, tooth decay, and bad breath. It is an excellent idea to incorporate
interdental brushing in your daily cleaning routine to avoid this.
The best interdental brush is a small brush
that cleans between your teeth, where a regular toothbrush cannot reach. Using
an interdental brush daily, in addition to brushing your teeth, is a simple and
effective way to keep your gums and teeth clean and healthy.
At Dr. Pratik’s Dental Clinic Dombivli, we
recommend cleaning inbetween your teeth every day to keep your mouth healthy
and fresh.
There is a slight possibility of your gums
feeling sore and bleeding when you first start cleaning between your teeth. If
your gums bleed excessively, stop immediately because bleeding in gums is often
a sign of gum inflammation or infection. Contact Dr. Pratik’s Dental Clinic to
better understand the cause for bleeding or oral infection.
Choosing the Correct Interdental Brush Size
Interdental brushes come in a variety of
sizes, making it challenging to determine which is best for your mouth.
Request a recommendation from the best dentist in Dombivli for a reliable advice. Meanwhile, here are some pointers to get you started…
- Examine your teeth in the mirror and place the brush between them, close to the gums. Begin with the smallest brush size and work your way up until the bristles of the brush are in contact with the tooth surface and gum tissue.
- The brush should be snug, but the wire should not touch the sides of the teeth or the gums, even if it is plastic coated. Never try to cram the brush into a tight space.
- After inserting the interdental brush, move it back and forth about 2-3 times to its full length. Once a day, brush all the spaces between your teeth.
It is likely that you will need two to
three brushes of various sizes, or a combination of one or two brushes and
floss – it all depends on the spacing between your teeth, which varies
throughout the mouth.
How to Use Interdental Brushes?
It is all about using the right technique
when it comes to interdental cleaning. The good news is that learning how to
use interdental brushes is relatively simple. It is a healthy habit that will
last a lifetime once you have mastered it.
- Brush between the front teeth with a straight interdental brush.
- Brush your teeth gently with the brush. Work the brush or choose a smaller size rather than forcing it into a space.
- Several times, move the interdental toothbrush full length back and forth.
When brushing the back teeth with a
small interdental brush,
You can slightly curve the soft neck with a
small interdental brush. It is easier to reach between the back teeth by applying
pressure with your finger. Alternatively, a long-handled interdental brush can also
be used.
When brushing the back teeth with a
larger interdental brush,
When using larger interdental brushes,
slightly curving the wire can help with access between the back teeth. If you
do not straighten or bend the interdental brush at an angle, it will last
longer.
