Interdental care

Brushing cleans three surfaces out of five. The other two, between the teeth, are where plaque, tartar and bleeding gums take hold: that is where bad breath and most adult cavities are decided. Reviews of the literature rank interdental brushes ahead of floss for plaque removal when the space allows; floss keeps its place for tight contacts; a water flosser helps people with braces, bridges or implants, and a tongue scraper reduces the coating behind morning breath.

This collection gathers the tools of that second brushing: interdental brushes by size (with an assortment to find yours), mint waxed floss and expanding floss for wide gaps, disposable and reusable floss holders, stainless-steel or copper tongue scrapers, compatible tips for water flossers. None of these objects treats gum disease: bleeding that lasts more than two weeks despite good hygiene should be shown to a dentist. From 2 items, −10% at cart.
