That is NOT how they are designed to be used because that way you can damage your teeth and gum tissues – by scrubbing away with an extreme twirling motions. Its angled brush head provides easy access to interdental spaces in the premolar and molar regions. This specific design allows for perpendicular entry, preventing gingival lesions. The size of the head ensures deep cleaning of interdental spaces.

They are available with different bristle textures, sizes, and forms. Most dentists recommend using a soft toothbrush since hard-bristled toothbrushes can damage tooth enamel and irritate the gums. [1] The use of brush is the best solution if you have a naturally larger spaces between the teeth, or if your gaps between two teeth are extended due to the gum disease. They are very useful for cleaning under dental bridges, around crowns, implants and braces. Also, patients who had gum surgery should necessarily use them.

In the region between two teeth, gum’s shape and surface are little bit different than in areas that are easily visible. These triangle gaps between two teeth are filled with the part of the gums (gingiva) which has the shape of a pyramid. It is called interdental papilla. In simple terms – due to its location in teeth gaps, the gums are less protected from the effects of bacteria from dental plaque. Therefore, it’s cleaning is very important, because inflammation of interdental gingiva ( gingivitis) first starts in these areas.

Because your toothbrush cannot reach the interproximal space of your teeth, it is important to use tools, such as floss or an interproximal brush to clean in between your teeth. This, along with regular brushing and dentist visits will be the best way to avoid an interproximal cavity.
