Can be useful for

A product can support daily care but can’t treat a dental problem on its own. See a dentist if symptoms persist.

Choosing interdental brushes and floss

  • Ask your dental team which interdental brush sizes fit your gaps – you may need more than one.
  • If a brush bends or splays, try a smaller size rather than forcing it.
  • Tape or waxed floss can be easier to handle than thin floss.
  • Avoid wooden toothpicks for digging out food – the NHS says they can damage gums.
  • Pick the method you'll actually use every day.
