Corsodyl interdental brushes
Corsodyl interdental brushes remove plaque between teeth when the brush fits gently without bending or forcing it.
The short answer
Corsodyl interdental brushes are small wire or polymer-coated brushes for cleaning plaque and food from spaces between teeth. Choose the largest size that passes comfortably and use it gently once daily.
How do interdental brushes differ from ordinary brushing?
The product is an interdental cleaner, not a replacement for brushing the tooth surfaces. Its bristles contact the proximal surfaces and the gum edge, where a toothbrush cannot reach effectively.
How should you use an interdental brush safely?
Insert the brush horizontally or at the angle that follows the space, then move it in and out without sawing hard. Rinse it during use, replace it when the bristles bend, and use floss or a tape where the space is too tight.
When should a dentist check difficulty using the brush?
Arrange a dental assessment if the brush catches, causes persistent bleeding, or cannot pass because of a filling, crown, or crowded teeth. Seek prompt care for swelling, pus, severe pain, or a loose tooth.
Which interdental brush size suits each space?
Ask which brush size fits each gap, whether a coated wire or rubber-style cleaner suits your restorations, and how to clean around bridges, implants, or orthodontic wires.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use one size everywhere?
Often not. Interdental spaces vary, so several sizes may be needed.
Why does my gum bleed?
Inflamed gum tissue can bleed when plaque is disturbed; persistent bleeding needs an examination.
