Question and answer
Gum brushes for teeth
An interdental brush cleans plaque from spaces between teeth that a standard toothbrush cannot reach.
The short answer
It has small filaments around a wire or flexible core and should fit a gap without force or bending.
What is the direct answer?
What does this question mean?
Use the size that enters snugly, move it gently between the teeth, and use different sizes where gaps differ.
What can you do next?
Pain, pus, persistent bleeding, or a changed gap needs an examination and a review of fit and technique.
When should you seek dental care?
Ask which sizes suit each space and how to clean around braces, bridges, or implants.
