TePe Interdental Brush Angle, Pink, 0.4mm/ISO 0, 6pcs, Interspace Cleaning, Plaque Remover for Teeth with Narrow Gaps, ensures Strong Gums

I have struggled to floss my teeth with the usual floss and tipi brushes because they were too big.These are great if you have smaller gaps and the usual size of flossing items that are difficult to use or the sizes are too big.Love these and I am able to floss now, it has taken me years to find the right product.Great value for money with this pack and the performance is great to be able to get to every part of your teeth. Durable with a little plastic cap to put on the top of the brush you are using.Very versatile with the long handle to let you reach back teeth so no pulling your mouth in different directions with a piddly brush or floss.Recommended thank you sooo soo much!

A few years ago now, I was recommended by my dentist to try interdental brushes. I am 60 years old and although I have not needed a filling for over 20 years, I have required several root-canal treatments and caps etc. The gaps between my teeth are of variable sizes. Some will trap a piece of dental floss and not allow it to move, and others are wider than doubled and knotted dental floss.Originally I tried possibly every brand of interdental brushes, including the short TePe ones, and in a range of sizes. Overall I find the Tepe brushes to be the best, in terms of ease of use and apparent effectiveness.These angled and long-handled brushes make it far easier to reach the molars etc towards the back of my mouth, and to brush from the inside of the teeth.As I have said, the spaces between my teeth vary, so I need to have a selection of these brushes available, although the sizes I use mostly are 0.40, 0.45, 0.5mm.There is a knack to using them - as far as possible you need to have the bristles as perpendicular to the space you wish to clean as you can get, and gently manipulate the brush into the space. If you feelno resistance at all - you might be using too small a brush. If the brush bends immediately, then you might be using too large a brush for that gap.If the brush part does get bent, it is a simple matter to straighten it between finger and thumb.Included in the pack is a small plastic cap that fits over the brush-end, and is used to protect the bristles once you have started using the brush.I find that these bristles are effective at cleaning between the teeth (according to my dentist and hygienist), and they do not seem harsh on the gums themselves. I do get slight bleeding occasionally - only slight and that is normal.I have a couple of sensitive spots and I often dab a bit of sensodyne toothpaste on the brush before cleaning between a particular pair of teeth.definitely recommended.

I first discovered TePe brand interdental brushes recently, when upon discussion with my dentist, he informed me that the previous interdental brushes I was using, which were metal (most are) may actually be doing more harm than good. Along the way I tried those little tree shaped white plastic brushes, but for me they are ineffective, uncomfortable and awkward, and dental floss, although great for close together front teeth, it does not seem to adequately clean between molars.So, it was onto the TePe Angles. Unfortunately, despite choosing the exact same size as my previous brand ones, there is obviously quite a marked variation in size between brands, so somewhat annoyingly these are my second purchase in a row of these in an attempt to get the correct size. I would really like to help prevent others from this mistake, but how do you measure a tooth gap?? All I can say, is that my teeth are pretty close together, as I had braces when I was younger so they have been “pulled together” so to speak. And for any of you who may have used Curaprox brand in the past, these are the approximate equivalent of their 0.6mm Turquoise size.As for efficacy – at age 39, touch wood, I’ve never had a filling or any other significant dental work, so I believe interdental brushes definitely do help. But obviously as one step of a careful and thorough dental care routine. When I first migrated from floss many years ago to interdental brushes, I loved the ease of use and the results. The TePe’s handle makes them so much easier to use, and the plastic coated bristles protect the teeth and gums. My advice to anyone who may be new to this type of product, is just go slow and be gentle – don’t force the brush anywhere. And if you have any teeth which are particularly close together / crossed over, use regular floss there instead.Best Uses : To reduce debris, plaque & gum issues from arising between dental appointments.Pros : Compact and portable, easy to use, very effective at removing debris, plastic coated wire is gentler on teeth and gums.Caution : These can be re-used (as per my Dentist), however I think it’s best to keep them as sterile as possible, so I soak them in mouthwash after use.Cons : Slightly pricey for a 6 piece disposable set.In summary : Safe & Easy to Use Interdental Brushes. Recommended. I hope you found my review helpful and would love for you to click “yes” if you did.

Soft bristles little brushes great for cleaning between teeth and if it's used frequently no need to visit the dentist to often.

Works as expected

I normally use the standard brushes that was recommended by my Dentist but I saw these and thought of giving them a try. I actually prefer these but they have a handle and it's a lot easier to use in my opinion.

Brought these after my dentist recommended them. I found these really easy to use to get to my back teeth, much easier than floss or other tepe designs.

These brushes work well to clear debris from between teeth
