How To Use Interdental Brushes

** 📣 UPDATED VIDEO NOW AVAILABLE - youtu.be/NJVBsEmAL8E **

Dr Chhaya Chauhan (GDC: 83940) explains how you should use interdental brushes to clean in between the teeth.

Ensure you have the right size for the space, you should feel some friction when inserting the brush between the teeth and the gums should slightly blanche white.

The area that is most important to clean is the triangle part of the gum- in-between the teeth.

Gently insert the brush horizontally into the space, pushing down slightly on the gum

Push the brush all the way through, now slightly angling it upwards so not to catch the gum on the inside of your mouth.

When withdrawing the brush gently pull to one side of the tooth
Repeat and again when withdrawing the brush pull against the side of the other tooth.

Do not worry if your gums bleed. Bleeding should resolve with regular interdental cleaning

Helpful info:

It’s important to manually disturb the plaque, so you don’t have to apply toothpaste to the brushes

If your gums are particularly sore, run the brush under warm water to soften the bristles

For the back teeth, gently bend the neck of the brush into a right angle for better access and pop the cap onto the end of the brush to make it longer

If you are struggling to reach around your back teeth because your cheek is in the way, insert the brush from the inside, ie, by your tongue or palate. This will give you more room.

Use your brushes in front of the mirror until you get the hang of it
