Does anybody here use use them?

What make and where do you buy them? 

Thanks

  • Yes   I've been using them for years.  Mine are TePe.  There are different sizes indicated by the colour.  Your hygienist or dentist will recommend the correct size for you - I think it depends on the gap between your teeth.

    I also use floss.

  • Best to get advice on size to use from dentist or hygienist - or buy 1 of every size and experiment! Large Boots or Superdrug probably sell the ones that look like Tepe but aren’t - I use these and they're fine. I think interdental brushes are great for a quick clean after meals when you’re out and about - gets rid of any sugary bits I might have been naughty enough to eat! And I agree - I spend a lot of time cleaning my teeth now - much more than BC!

  • Hello Beesuit , I don't use these but use ,although it sounds as if I should , I do use a very small round headed toothbrush about the diameter of a pencil , this helps me as I have trouble opening my mouth wide enough to get access to the back teeth ,its a bit slower but the results are good as I do occasionally swallow Ensures which are very sweet . Best wishes .
