What is an interdental cleaner? Different interdental products can be used for the removal of bacterial plaque from gaps between teeth. These are interdental brushes, dental floss and/or interdental stimulator. And their use is just as important as teeth brushing with a toothbrush. These so called interdental aids or cleaners penetrate in the spaces between the teeth where toothbrush fibers can not reach. They completely remove food residues and in that way prevent the formation of plaque, tartar and interdental cavity.Interproximal decay occurs when the space between two teeth begins to decay. Interproximal decay is hard to identify through general clinical practice and is often found during an x-ray of the teeth. The other way to predict an interproximal cavity is when the decay breaks through the second layer of enamel and wears into the dentin, causing hot/cold sensitivity.

Yes, and in most cases they are even much better. Many of us wonder whether it is better to use interdental brushes or floss. There is no doubt that the dental floss is a good means for maintaining hygiene of interproximal spaces. It is definitely the best solution in cases where the teeth are so close to each other and can not be cleaned even with the smallest interdental brush. But, the disadvantages of the floss are especially shown when cleaning recessed teeth areas (such as between molars), because they can not be completely cleaned with it at all. In the UK, William Addis is believed to have produced the first mass-produced toothbrush in 1780. [17] [20] In 1770, he had been jailed for causing a riot. While in prison he decided that using a rag with soot and salt on the teeth was ineffective and could be improved. After saving a small bone from a meal, he drilled small holes into the bone and tied into the bone tufts of bristles that he had obtained from one of the guards, passed the tufts of bristle through the holes in the bone and sealed the holes with glue. After his release, he became wealthy after starting a business manufacturing toothbrushes. He died in 1808, bequeathing the business to his eldest son. It remained within family ownership until 1996. [21] Under the name Wisdom Toothbrushes, the company now manufactures 70 million toothbrushes per year in the UK. [22] By 1840 toothbrushes were being mass-produced in Britain, France, Germany, and Japan. [23] Pig bristles were used for cheaper toothbrushes and badger hair for the more expensive ones. [23] They have small bristled heads designed to clean between your teeth, and they come in different widths to suit the sizes of the gaps.

The brushes come in various sizes, ranging from .4 mm to .8 mm. Sometimes referred to as “in-betweeners” these brushes specialize in cleaning wide or open spaces between teeth, including the space around and between the premolars and molars. How to Use Interproximal Brushes With Braces Every day in the morning, a monk must chew a piece of tooth wood to brush his teeth and scrape his tongue, and this must be done in the proper way. Only after one has washed one's hands and mouth may one make salutations. Otherwise both the saluter and the saluted are at fault. In Sanskrit, the tooth wood is known as the dantakastha—danta meaning tooth, and kastha, a piece of wood. It is twelve finger-widths in length. The shortest is not less than eight finger-widths long, resembling the little finger in size. Chew one end of the wood well for a long while and then brush the teeth with it."
