Solihull Dental & Oral Hygiene

There are five surfaces to our teeth. Remember to brush your teeth 3 times a day because plaque forms on your teeth within an hour of eating foods or taking sugar drinks. The toothbrush can clean the biting surface and the cheek and tongue surfaces well. However to clean the surfaces in between teeth can only be done using flossing aids.

It is important that you floss inbetween your teeth every day. Flossing with the Wisdom Flosser allows you to clean your teeth without putting your fingers in the mouth. The back teeth can be cleaned very effectively with it when shown how to use it properly.

When the spaces between our teeth are wide then using interdental bottle brushes e.g. Tepe brushes to clean them is ideal. They come in different sizes and colours.

Lastly to clean under bridges the use of Super Floss is ideal. On one end of the floss it is slightly stiff and helps get under the bridge. Once under there is a foam part of the floss that will help clean the bridged tooth.
