Specialized Toothbrushes

The best way to start good implant care is to treat your new tooth as one of your own natural teeth. Brush your teeth with an ultra-soft and dense toothbrush with a smaller head and don’t miss the interdental spaces. Clean all niches exceptionally well. Using interdental brushes is significantly more effective than flossing. As the spaces around the new addition can vary significantly—from smaller to larger than usual—opt for fitting interdentals to ensure both effectiveness and safety. We have a variety of brushes, one for every need.  

Not cleaning is not an option.

Clean the sensitive area between the implant neck and the gums with a specially designed toothbrush, particularly in case of fixed overdentures, or ball- and bar-retained overdentures. Yes, it can be difficult to reach. But not properly cleaning it is not an option as it can lead to serious implant issues like loss due to peri-implantitis–an infection that damages the gums and bone around the implant. That’s why we developed the fabulous flexible toothbrush CS 708 implant. It sports seven super gentle tufts on its small head and can reach every spot in the mouth. Here’s how to brush with it:

• Apply the head of the CS 708 implant to one side of the implant.
• Tilt it towards the gumline.
• Move the brush head with tiny up and down or circular movements gently focusing on the area between implant and gums.
• Guide the brush head closely along the implant neck from one side to the other, repeating two to three times. 
• Repeat the same procedure at the back side of the implant.

You can also use an electric toothbrush, if you prefer. The Curaprox Hydrosonic pro was developed specifically for people with implants, braces, or gum issues. It hits the critical points around implants thanks to three different brush heads, super-fine bristles, and seven different cleaning levels.

We have also developed the CS 1009 brush for very special cases. Featuring longer bristles (9mm), this single-tufted brush is particularly suitable for cleaning partially erupted teeth, elongated teeth with periodontal pockets, back teeth furcations, special implant and prosthodontic cases. 

After surgery, you have to treat your mouth warily and may need a super gentle brush as the tissue in your mouth is highly sensitive. Even if you can't imagine being able to get a toothbrush to the injured area—with our incredibly soft CS surgical brush it is possible, and you can reliably remove bacteria and plaque from your mouth.

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.

Our answer is short and clear: yeah! It takes a little practice but is a really good way to bring your oral hygiene to a new level. Clean the gumline and the hard-to-reach surfaces behind the molars with the Solo Technique. And here's how it works: take the CS 1006 single—a one-tufted brush especially developed for tooth-by-tooth and gumline cleaning—and place the brush head on one side of the tooth. Then follow the tooth contour while making tiny, gentle, shaking or up-and-down movements along the gumline, as gentle as fluttering of butterfly wings, from one side of the tooth to the other and from one tooth to the next. Dental professionals say it’s the perfect way to clean the gumline and behind the molars. But not only: the CS 1006 single is also suitable for crowded as well as rotated teeth, irregular gingival margins, hard-to-reach wisdom teeth and areas around brackets, wires, retainers, crowns, bridges, chewing surfaces of erupting first and second molars in children and adolescents, and persons with a strong gag reflex. The CS 1006 single brush truly is a versatile instrument! Since you don't need toothpaste, you can use this brush dry, and the best place to do this is ANYWHERE—not only in the bathroom.
