Brushing your teeth should be your first concern when it comes to keeping a healthy mouth. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste is essential for a healthy smile, but there is one simple addition that may drastically improve your oral health: interdental cleaning.
While brushing your teeth is the most efficient approach to keep them clean, it only covers 60% of the surface area. Cleaning in between the gaps in your teeth using interdental brushes is one of the simplest and most significant things you can do to improve the health of your smile.

Why is it so necessary to clean between your teeth?
Plaque can accumulate between the teeth, where a toothbrush can’t reach. This can lead to tooth decay, gum irritation, and poor breath over time. It is a good idea to use an interdental brush as part of your regular cleaning practise to avoid this.
An interdental brush is a little brush that cleans between your teeth, where a standard toothbrush can’t reach. Using an interdental brush on a daily basis, in addition to cleaning your teeth, is a simple and efficient approach to keep your gums and teeth clean and healthy.
To keep your mouth fresh and healthy, we recommend cleaning between your teeth every day. Your gums may feel uncomfortable and bleed when you first start cleaning between your teeth, but don’t stop since bleeding gums are generally an indication of gum inflammation. Contact your dental expert if you don’t see any improvement after a few days.
Choosing the Correct Size
Interdental brushes come in a variety of sizes, making it difficult to choose which is best for your mouth. Request a reference from a dental professional for the finest guidance. Meanwhile, here are some pointers to get you started:
- Examine your teeth in the mirror and place the brush between them, near to the gums. Begin with the smallest brush size and work your way up until the bristles of the brush are in contact with the tooth surface and gum tissue.
- The brush should be tight, but the wire should not contact the sides of the teeth or the gums, even if it is plastic coated. Never try to cram the brush into a tight place.
- After inserting the interdental brush, move it back and forth about 2-3 times to its maximum length. Once a day, brush all of the gaps between your teeth.
- It’s probable that you’ll need two to three brushes of various sizes, or a mix of one or two brushes and floss — it all depends on the spacing between your teeth, which varies throughout the mouth.
Interdental brushes: How to Use Them
It’s important about using the right approach when it comes to interdental cleaning. The good news is that learning how to use interdental brushes is quite simple. It’s a good habit that will last a lifetime once you’ve perfected it.
- Brush between the front teeth using a straight interdental brush
Brush your teeth carefully with the brush. Work the brush in softly or use a smaller size rather than forcing it into an area. Several times, move the interdental brush full length back and forth.
2. When brushing the back teeth with a tiny interdental brush
You can softly bend the soft neck using a little interdental brush. It is simpler to get between the rear teeth by applying pressure with your finger. Alternatively, a long-handled interdental brush can be used.
3. When brushing the rear teeth with a larger interdental brush
When utilising bigger interdental brushes, gently curving the wire might help with access between the rear teeth. If you don’t straighten or bend the interdental brush at an angle, it will last longer.
By being aware of what we can do to develop and maintain good oral health, we can change our life for the better. It’s a great introduction to interdental brushing – the most effective way you can clean between your teeth.
