TePeInterdental Brushes Orange 0.45mm 25 Pack

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 are a few small plastic caps 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.The pack of 25 represents better value than the usual 6 to a pack.definitely recommended.

Smallest interdental brushes, so useful. Both my husband and I use them and this bag is so much better than just buying 6 or 8 in a pack. Great Value

I find this size of brush really hard to find in the shops so it’s great that Amazon sells these. The brushes themselves are really easy to use due to their long handle - they’ve definitely encouraged me to spend more time flossing each day. The colour coded system is also very useful if you need to use multiple sizes, which I do.These are great quality and don’t break down after one use.A secondary use I’ve found for the brushes is applying whitening gel to retainers, it gives a really even coverage!

Essential item for me. Using it on a daily basis greatly aided my overall dental hygiene practice in removing food trapped in between teeth that brushing alone couldnt accomplish.

I have found this size (no 1/orange/0.45) the best of the range for dealing with inter-dental control of plaque without making your gums bleed every time (which you may experience with 1st use or if you choose a stick too large to insert between your teeth. Best i've found to dip in capful of mouth-wash before every insertion and rinse under tap after insertion). EDIT:- A lot of people seem to be reporting these sticks breaking in use .The best action of insertion between teeth I have found is to dip the brush in a capful of mouthwash and insert the brush tip against gum and tooth gap and holding the handle work the point in a very gentle circular action with emphasis on gentle whilst applying pressure on the handle so as to feed the brush in gradually. When half way in the brush can be gently pushed in and out of the gap for maximum effect. After this rinse brush under trickling tap and dip again in mouthwash and repeat procedure for next gap. Finally rinse mouth out with left over mouth wash. I have been able to make a stick last a whole month using this method so perhaps some people are being too aggressive with their cleaning program.Take your time and gently is the best method. Not very economical in a pack of 6 and you only get one brush hygiene cover with the 6 pack where-as every stick in the 25 pk gets its own cover.I have found this size harder and harder to get in the shops so made sense to check Amazon for a supply.Very pleased with supplier and delivery ordered Thursday, told delivery between Monday and Thursday next week but came today Saturday.In reality best to discard once or twice a month depending how heavy a user you are but if you use longer you may stand the risk of filament holder (the thin twisted wire that holds the bristles)snapping off between you teeth!A much better fully controllable alternative to flossing which now seems to be attracting bad press as a thing "not to do"anymore.Much more hygienic way of cleaning in between your teeth and has invited favorable comments from my dentist now every time I go. Recommended.

Ideal product. Approved bydentist.

Best price I’ve seen.The tepe angle brushes have been a game changer for my oral care, getting between my molars right at the back of mouth. Bits that I can feel are there until they’re dislodged.A must!

Exactly as expected 👍🏼
