Let’s talk about interdental hygiene
Everyone knows about the importance of basic oral hygiene. We all brush our teeth. Someone carefully, someone not. However, we often forget about the interdental spaces brushing. Some people forget, and some do not know that they also need to be cleaned at all!
Let’s think together. Interproximal hygiene is the cleaning of interdental or interproximal spaces. You can clean the interdental spaces with dental floss or interdental brushes. 🌿
Still, dental floss does not always clean as much as possible, it removes food particles faster, but the biofilm (accumulation of bacteria on the teeth surface) remains. 😔
Brushes, on the other hand, fill the entire gap, removing all biofilm and food particles. 👍🏻
The question now is about the proper selection of these brushes and techniques.
Unfortunately, you cannot purchase high-quality interdental brushes in a pharmacy or a supermarket. In Ukraine, this important subject of hygiene is not widely available.
So make sure to visit our periodontist to get help with selecting the right size of interdental brushes and getting detailed instructions and recommendations for interdental brushing techniques.
👀 You should not forget about interdental spaces.
Neglecting interdental cleaning leads to gum inflammation, periodontitis, multiple caries, halitosis, and this is not the whole list of negative consequences.
