Colgate Total Interdental Brushes have an innovative handle that allows you to reach those usually hard to reach places in the mouth. These interdental brushes also have unique Tri-Proxi bristles providing a high cleaning performance. Tri-Proxi generally means a triangular-shaped head and this head is considered more effective as it adapts to the natural shape of the spaces in between your teeth, effectively removing plaque and debris from a greater area.
The interdental brush has an added use in that it can clean around dental appliances such as bridges, implants and orthodontic braces with much greater ease than traditional floss is able to do. The drawback of interdental brushes is the fact that floss cleans effectively beneath the gum line “ an important factor in preventing damaging plaque build-up “ and interdental brushes cannot be as thorough in this respect. However if, for whatever reason, you cannot use traditional floss then interdental brushes are the healthy option if the other is simply not participating in interdental cleaning at all.
Colgate Total Interdental Brushes come in a range of sizes to accommodate the needs of the individual; 2mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm. If you have very tightly spaced teeth then the 2mm option will be perfect for you and for those widely spaced teeth the 6mm option will be the desired choice. The brushes are conveniently colour coded according to size so that they do not become mixed up in the family bathroom.
You can buy this product in a handy trial pack which includes a handle and four heads, one of each size, to allow you to decide which works best for you. The RRP for this product is £2.09. You can also buy a refill pack which contains a handle and 6 heads of one thickness once you have decided which size is your perfect match. The RRP for a refill pack is £2.89.
