TePe interdental brushes are designed to clean the surfaces between the teeth where the brush cannot reach. Not cleaning between the teeth leaves 30-40% of the bacterial plaque biofilm on the teeth. The bacteria that live in this plaque biofilm can cause inflammation of the gums, so it is important to clean them every day with adequate help for oral hygiene.

If your teeth have close contact points between them and the gum fills the space between your teeth, it may be best to floss; try GumChucks for easy flossing. If you have a gap between your teeth, this may be the result of gum disease, aging, or early tooth loss, a TePe interdental brush is ideal.

Think about how you clean a bottle brush - bristles must make contact with tooth surfaces to effectively clean them. Always wear the largest size that fits comfortably - make sure the bristles touch the surfaces of the teeth, otherwise, you're just removing the food packed between the teeth.

Choose the correct size, use dry, and insert following the contour of the gum. Insert below the point of contact between teeth (slightly rotating brush as aid is inserted). Move the bristles in and out of the space 3-4 times and then go to the next space. Rinse after use under running water and store in the Microholder Tepe, or for work/travel, Tepe travel case.

Tepe Extra Soft Interdental Brushes are designed for use: after surgery; when the gums are sore/tender; for the dry mouth if you prefer a softer brush
