Interdental Brush

Little, conical brushes called interdental brushes are used to clean the interproximal or interdental gaps between teeth. These brushes have tiny, narrow bristles that can fit between dental gaps and remove plaque and food particles which ordinary toothbrushes can miss.

Those wearing braces or other orthodontic appliances are frequently advised to use interdental brushes since it can be challenging to properly clean between teeth using conventional brushes. Moreover, they can be beneficial for patients who have gum disease or wider spaces between their teeth.

Interdental brushes are available in a range of sizes to fit various interdental gaps. They may be made of nylon or other materials, and they can be either reusable or disposable. Together with routine brushing and flossing, using interdental brushes can aid in maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding dental issues.

Are Interdental Brushes commonly available in Local Drug/Medical Stores?

Yes, Interdental Brushes are usually available in Established Medical Shops (like Apollo , Medplus , etc). Local medical shops may not always have them, but might be able to provide them by placing advanced order.
