FAQs
How often should I replace my Tepe Interdental Brush?
It is recommended to replace your brush once the bristles become worn or the wire shows signs of damage, typically every 1–2 weeks.
Can I use toothpaste with these brushes?
Yes, you can use a small amount of toothpaste or an interdental gel, though plain water is usually sufficient for daily plaque removal.
Are these brushes suitable for people with sensitive gums?
Yes, the plastic-coated wire is specifically designed to be gentle on sensitive gums and dental work.
How do I know which size to choose?
Sizes are determined by the gap between your teeth. Your dentist should perform an interdental assessment to recommend the correct size for you.
Can I use these around my dental implants?
Absolutely. The plastic coating ensures that the metal wire does not scratch or damage your dental implants.
Should I use these before or after brushing?
You can use them before or after, but using them before brushing allows the fluoride from your toothpaste to reach the clean gaps more effectively.
Troubleshooting
The brush is difficult to insert between teeth.
Do not force the brush. You may be using a size that is too large for the gap. Try a smaller size or consult your dentist for sizing advice.
The wire is bending or snapping.
Ensure you are inserting the brush straight and avoiding excessive pressure. If the wire is bent, do not try to straighten it; replace the brush.
Gums are bleeding during use.
Minor bleeding may occur if you are new to interdental cleaning, but it should subside within a week. If bleeding persists, stop use and consult a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, consult your dentist or dental hygienist to identify the correct size of brush needed for your specific dental anatomy. Using a brush that is too large can cause gum trauma, while one that is too small may not clean effectively. After each use, rinse the brush thoroughly under running water to remove food particles and debris. Allow the brush to air dry in an upright position. Once the bristles become frayed or the wire loses its shape, the brush should be discarded and replaced to maintain sanitary conditions and prevent gum irritation.
