Product Information
Full details
Piksters Interdental Brushes are designed for individuals looking for a more efficient and user-friendly alternative to traditional dental floss to maintain oral hygiene between teeth. The key benefit is the stronger, plastic-coated wire that resists bending, allowing for multiple uses, though users must ensure they select the correct size to match their specific interdental spaces to avoid discomfort.

FAQs
How do I know if Size 1 is right for me?
Size 1 is generally intended for very tight interdental spaces. If you experience pain or require significant force to insert the brush, you should try a smaller size or consult your dentist.
Can I reuse these brushes?
Yes, Piksters are designed to be used multiple times. The durable wire and high-quality bristles are built to withstand several cleaning sessions.
How often should I replace the brush?
Replace the brush when the bristles appear flattened, frayed, or if the wire becomes permanently bent.
Do I need to use toothpaste with these?
While not required, you can use a small amount of toothpaste or an oral gel if recommended by your dental professional for extra fluoride protection.
Are these safe to use with dental implants or braces?
Yes, they are generally safe for implants, bridges, and braces, but you should verify the correct size with your orthodontist or dentist to ensure you are not damaging hardware.
Troubleshooting
The wire bends during insertion
Ensure you are using the correct size for your specific gap; if the gap is too tight, forcing the brush will damage the wire.
Bristles fraying too quickly
Avoid aggressive scrubbing motions; use a gentle in-and-out motion combined with a slight rotation to clean effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Piksters, do not force the brush into spaces that are too small, as this can bend the wire prematurely. If you find significant resistance, consider using a smaller size. After every use, rinse the bristles under warm water to clear away plaque and food particles. Always store the brush with the provided open-ended cap in place to maintain hygiene and prevent the bristles from being crushed inside a travel bag. Replace the brush once the bristles become worn or the wire shows signs of metal fatigue.
