Full details

FAQs
How do I know which size Interprox Plus brush to use?
The Interprox Plus brushes come in various sizes. It is best to consult with your dentist or dental hygienist, who can recommend the most suitable size for your specific interdental spaces. Alternatively, look for a size that fits comfortably between your teeth without forcing.
Can I use these brushes if I have braces?
Yes, the Interprox Plus brushes, particularly with their long handle, are designed to be effective for cleaning around braces, wires, and brackets. They help remove plaque and food debris from areas difficult to reach with a regular toothbrush.
How often should I replace my Interprox Plus brush?
For optimal hygiene and effectiveness, it is recommended to replace the interdental brush every 1 to 2 weeks, or sooner if the bristles become visibly frayed or worn.
What do the bi-color bristles signify?
The bi-color bristles are designed to help you assess your cleaning. The white bristles can indicate the presence of plaque, while the red bristles can become visible if there is bleeding in the gums, signaling potential inflammation.
Are these brushes safe for gums?
When used correctly with the appropriate size and gentle pressure, Interprox Plus brushes are safe for gums. Avoid excessive force, as this can lead to gum irritation or damage. If you experience persistent bleeding or discomfort, consult your dental professional.
Can I reuse the same brush over multiple days?
Yes, you can reuse the brush for multiple days, but it must be thoroughly rinsed with water after each use and stored properly. Replacement is recommended once bristles show signs of wear or after approximately 1-2 weeks of use.
Troubleshooting
Brush bristles bending or deforming quickly
Ensure you are using the correct size brush for the space. Forcing a brush that is too large can damage the bristles. Also, check for aggressive brushing technique and adjust pressure.
Difficulty reaching back teeth
Utilize the long handle for better grip and leverage. Angle the brush to navigate around teeth and gums effectively. If still difficult, consider a slightly longer handle model if available or consult your dental professional.
Bristles not cleaning effectively
Rinse the brush to remove debris. Ensure you are using the correct size for a snug fit within the interdental space. Consider the bi-color indicator – if the white bristles are consistently showing plaque, you may need to adjust your technique or use a slightly smaller brush.
