Your toothbrush works hard, but unfortunately it is not welcome everywhere. It struggles to reach between your teeth. That is exactly where plaque and food debris can remain.
So alongside brushing, it is important to clean between your teeth every day with an interdental aid.
For example:
- 🦷 Interdental brushes – often the first choice when there is enough space between the teeth.
- 🪢 Floss – useful when the spaces are very small or tight.
- ✨ Other interdental brushes or aids – depending on your mouth and the space between your teeth.

Daily interdental cleaning removes plaque from places your toothbrush cannot reach properly.
It helps keep your gums healthy and lowers the risk of:

- implants;
- other dental treatments.
In short
Cleaning between your teeth is far from an unnecessary luxury.
Using the right aid every day ultimately makes the biggest difference to a healthy mouth.
