Interdental Brushes

Most people need more than one brush size as interdental spaces normally are not the same size. You may need two or three sizes to clean all your interdental spaces properly. As Curaprox provides the only calibrating system in the market, dental professionals can easily help you finding the proper size for every space. We offer interdental brushes in various sizes and dimensions that address every need and space. If you are unsure about the proper sizes, don’t hesitate to ask the dentist of your trust which brushes are best for cleaning between teeth. If you want to give interdentals a try by yourself, opt for the CPS prime Mixed Start Set which includes all sizes.

If you use interdental brushes for the first time, it might be scary. But with the right size and the proper brushing technique, they are safe to use. And you will certainly feel the difference of a gentle and thorough clean. Curaprox interdental brushes are made with super-soft bristles and a flexible wire core that won't cause any damage to your gums. However, if you use interdental brushes that are too large or have very stiff bristles or a totally rigid core, there is a risk of damage. This means that the bristles can hurt your gums, and the wire can scratch your teeth and damage the enamel.

You may wonder if floss or interdental brushes manage to clean your interdental spaces better. To effectively clean the spaces between your teeth, use interdental brushes as they have a major advantage over dental floss. Their flexible bristles span between teeth like an umbrella, fill the interdental space completely, and clean every nook and cranny. There is a size for every gap, even the narrowest. With a dental floss brush, on the other hand, you stretch the floss across these crevices, which means that it can therefore never clean as thoroughly as an interdental brush. However, dental floss is the clear winner when it comes to super-narrow spaces where interdental brushes can’t reach.

Yes, daily use of interdentals should be a normal part of your oral care routine. It is best to use them in the evening, before hitting bed. Thanks to a between teeth brush, you go to bed with completely clean teeth and bacteria have less chance of building up colonies overnight, secreting harmful acids, and damaging your teeth or causing gum inflammation. However, the optimal timing for interdental cleaning should be decided together with your dental professional, based on your oral condition and individual needs.

Interdental brushes do a really good job. Why? Their flexible bristles span between your teeth like a tiny umbrella and clean every nook and cranny. With a common dental floss brush, you can never reach these crevices, as the floss stretches across them and can’t reach all bacteria and plaque. But there are a few exceptions when floss is required to use: if you have extremely narrow gaps and interdentals won’t fit in, only flossing can clean your interdental spaces. Use it to complement your thorough cleaning on those specific spots as needed.

Bad breath is a taboo subject–and an embarrassing condition. However, the problem is more widespread than you might think. It is usually caused by a build-up of bacteria, which thrive on remnants of food between the teeth, in the gum pockets, and on the tongue. Did you know that roughly 60 percent of the bacteria can be found on the tongue? So, when it comes to oral hygiene, do not neglect this part of your mouth. Thanks to our special tongue scrapers you can ensure that your tongue stays nice and clean. Gently scrape the surface of your tongue three to four times a day and feel wonderfully fresh.

The right interdental brush glides gently between the teeth without pressure – and that’s exactly how it should feel. This helps remove plaque and bacteria thoroughly while staying gentle on your gums. If the brush is too small, it may not clean effectively enough. If it feels too tight or uncomfortable, it’s probably too large. With the right size, cleaning feels comfortable and effortless. Your dental professional will be happy to help you find the perfect CPS size for your smile.

Bleeding gums are often a sign of inflammation caused by plaque between the teeth. With regular and gentle cleaning, gums and interdental spaces usually become healthier within just a few days and bleeding often decreases. If your gums remain sensitive or continue to bleed, we recommend contacting your dental professional.

Whether before or after brushing, what matters most is using them every day. This helps keep interdental spaces pleasantly clean and your gums healthy.

Fresh filaments help provide a pleasant and thorough clean every day. That’s why we recommend replacing your interdental brush regularly.
