Do you know about interdental brushes and dental floss? ?

 

It is difficult to remove all plaque and debris between teeth with brushing alone. ( When brushing your teeth with a toothbrush 60% They say the car is being cleaned. )

To solve this, I use toothbrush additives.

Those are interdental brushes and dental floss.

Everyone is probably familiar with dental floss. It is a long string that you cut to a certain length and pull up and down between your teeth.

It is a method to remove foreign substances.

There are two other types that are attached to a toothpick and move up and down to remove foreign objects. ~~

Separately from this, there is a device called an interdental brush. I went to the dentist a few days ago, and the doctor told me to use it, so I looked into it and am currently using it.

As mentioned in the introduction, the reason for using this is to prevent cavities, as the areas between teeth where they easily form are often not brushed properly, and cavities can still develop even with proper brushing.

 

First, how to use an interdental brush

 

Interdental brushes come in various sizes.

ssss(0,2mm), sss(0.4) ,ss(0.6), s(0.8) 1.0, 1.2, 1.4mm It even has up to that point.

Since you won't know the gaps between your teeth when using it for the first time, it would be best to try a smaller size first and then gradually increase the size as you use it. ..

mostly 0.2~0.6 If you are using it but have implants or many gaps 1.4 They say they use it too.

They say the correct length is one that moves back and forth smoothly without resistance or being stiff, but since the gap spacing varies from person to person, they recommend using several sizes.

 

Next, I don't use toothpaste for interdental brushes.

I was told to avoid using toothpaste on the interdental brush because it causes abrasion, widening the gaps. Just wet it with water. ....

 

Third, the usage is Just like brushing your teeth, I was taught to use an interdental brush three times a day, inserting it into the gaps between all the upper and lower teeth and cleaning by rotating it back and forth and in a circular motion each time.

From outside to inside, from inside to outside ..1 At once 5 They told me to do it one round at a time.

 

The replacement cycle for interdental brushes is 1 main , in other words 1 In months 4 It is a revision cycle.

 

Next is dental floss.

 

If the spaces between your teeth are too narrow for an interdental brush to fit, use dental floss. ( Honestly, I'm not sure if I really need to go to such lengths for dental care. )

They told me not to push and pull the floss back and forth, but to insert and pull it out.

I will use photos to explain how to use the other type of dental floss as well. ..

 

You understand, right? ?
