TePeAngled 0.8mm Green Interdental Brushes - Pack of 6

I have always found it difficult to floss my teeth with the usual floss and other brushes. Flossing with the string was always difficult as I am rather kak handed when looking into a mirror 😊 .These brushes are great .I am able to get into the gaps between all of my teeth now with ease. it has taken me a while to find the right product.Great value for money with this pack and the performance is great to be able to get to every part of your teeth.

I married a dentist. Sometimes gets me down in the mouth but she comes with a helpful repertoire of things to buy and things to avoid. She, and my ordinary dentist, said that this is one of the things to buy. I did try cheaper ones but discovered that the dentist was right after all.Green is quite big, and I need this size to deal with gaps around implants. I would suggest that you buy this size when suggested by the hygienist.

These are good. Especially for reaching the very back teeth, which is what I use these long handled ones for. Can't use the regular small handled ones for those teeth as I can't get my hands in my very compact mouth. My only gripe is that these aren't really that strong and can only really be used maybe 3 times or so. A few have actually broken off on occasion and got stuck in between my teeth. That was fun and games trying to get the brush piece back out again with a pair of tweezers. Nevertheless, I have to use these, as my dentist insists I must so, what can you do.......

easy to use

Right size good product

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 is a small plastic cap 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.definitely recommended.

I got these tepes as I find the ones with the shorter handles always bend - and once they are bent they don't work.These are marginally better than the short handle ones - they do a great tepe job up until the wire bends and then they are unusable - which is annoying.I'm not sure how many days you should use each one for - but I'm pretty sure it's not one each day, if you clean it well they can last 2-3 days.

Good for what it is, tooth pic.Good value and works OK.
