The TePe interdental brush is a small, easy-grip brush, devised especially for cleaning the gaps between your teeth and areas below the gum line, where a regular toothbrush cannot reach. The core of these special brushes is a metal wire with a plastic coating and filament which cover 98% of the wire. A cylindrically shaped brush with a rounded loop cleans your teeth thoroughly and gently.
- Average Longevity: With proper care, a single brush typically lasts between 7 to 10 days.
- When to Replace: You should replace the brush as soon as the bristles become frayed or flattened, or if the plastic-coated wire starts to feel weak or buckled. Worn bristles are less effective at disrupting the bacterial biofilm that leads to periodontal disease.
- Hygiene Maintenance: To maximize the life of your brush, always rinse it thoroughly under warm water after each use and allow it to air dry. Using the provided cap (included in the 8-pack) helps protect the bristles when traveling or storing them in your bathroom.
Key Benefits:
- Plastic-Coated Wire: Ensures the brush is gentle on tooth surfaces and dental implants, preventing the "metal-on-metal" scratching associated with lower-quality brushes.
- Ergonomic Grip: The short, user-friendly handle allows for a steady and controlled grip, ensuring precision even at the back of the mouth.
- Nine Color-Coded Sizes: Available in a range of sizes (from 0.4mm to 1.3mm) to ensure a perfect, snug fit for every unique interdental space.
- Sustainable Manufacturing: Made in Sweden using renewable energy, making it an eco-conscious choice for your daily routine.
Ideal For:
- Daily Plaque Control: Essential for anyone looking to prevent the onset of gum disease.
- Braces & Orthodontics: An effective remedy for cleaning under wires and around brackets.
- Implants, Crowns & Bridges: Specifically designed to safely clean around delicate dental restorations.
- Travel: The compact 8-pack is perfect for maintaining your recommended daily care while on the move.
