When it comes to looking after our teeth it involves more than brushing twice a day and having a dental check-up every six months. While that is a great start, to properly care for your teeth and gums involves more than a toothbrush – as my dentist keeps telling me. Taking care of oral health is crucial and DenTek offer a comprehensive range of interdental brushes, picks, and flossers to keep your teeth and gums nice and healthy.

Oral health is more than just clean teeth. Poor oral hygiene can lead to a variety of dental and medical problems, including gum disease, infection, bone loss, heart disease, strokes, headaches and more.

We all know that brushing our teeth daily is crucial for good oral health. Growing up I was told that 3 minutes twice a day was recommended. The NHS recommend at least 2 minutes (30 seconds per quadrant in your mouth) twice a day so take the advice of your dentist. I use an electric toothbrush to clean my teeth and get on better with it than a manual toothbrush and love how clean my teeth feel afterwards. But good oral health doesn’t stop there (especially as you get older). Alongside brushing you should also be:

  • Flossing Daily: Brushing alone cleans only about 60% of your teeth’s surfaces. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth and under the gumline, areas that your toothbrush can’t reach.
  • Using Mouthwash: An antimicrobial mouthwash can help reduce bacteria in your mouth, freshen your breath, and provide additional protection against cavities and gum disease.
  • Regular Dental Check-Ups: Visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings is essential. Dentists can detect early signs of dental problems and provide professional cleaning to remove tartar buildup.

And obviously a healthy diet, limiting sugary drinks & foods and avoiding tabaco with help improve your oral health.

My dentist and dental hygienist always tell me to use interdental brushes. In the past I must admit that I have ignored them thinking that brushing and mouthwash was good enough and occasionally using a toothpick when food was stuck. DenTek offer a range of interdental brushes in different sizes and they really do make a difference – you can see the difference by what is left on the brush after use! It is best to check with your dentist what size is best for you to get the best results.

DenTek Easy Brush Interdental Brushes

Interdental brushes are designed to clean the spaces between your teeth – regular toothbrushes just can’t reach these parts. These brushes come in various sizes to accommodate different gap sizes between teeth (your dentist can recommend the correct size and colour). With the correct size (each size has a different colour handle) they are very effective at removing plaque and food particles from between your teeth, help not only keeping your teeth clean but are effective against gum disease and bad breath. The handle ensures a comfortable grip, making it easy to push the brush between your teeth. The bristles are gentle yet effective, providing a thorough clean without causing irritation. The brushes are reusable for 3-4 uses. And the DenTek interdental brushes are very eco-friendly as no plastic is used and they are made from naturally derived, plant-based materials – the handle and cap are made from renewable plant-based bio resin with the bristles from renewable castor plant. The packing they come in is made from FSC certified cardboard and 50% recycled PET. So they are not only god for your teeth, gums and mouth but also the environment.

DenTek Comfort Picks

DenTek Comfort Picks are a convenient alternative to traditional floss and I find them much easier to use. These picks are made from recycled plastic and are metal free. The come is S/M or M/L sizes (40 per pack) and feature small flexible rubber bristles that helps remove debris and plaque – perfect for removing stuck food after eating. The slim design allows for easy access to tight spaces, and the flexible tip ensures a gentle clean. These picks are perfect for on-the-go use (they even come with a carry case), making it easy to maintain oral hygiene throughout the day.

DenTek Flossers

I have always had DenTek flossers in the bathroom cabinet, they are great for when food is stuck or I can’t get the interdental brush between my teeth. Mine have always been a toothpick with a single string of floss (DenTek Triple Clean) and I’ve never really thought anything about it as they do the job. But they are available in many versions. DenTek flossers combine the benefits of dental floss and picks in one handy tool. The flossers feature a strong, shred-resistant floss that glides smoothly between teeth, effectively removing plaque and food particles. The built-in pick at the end of the flosser provides an additional cleaning option for hard-to-reach areas. The ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable grip, making it easy to use even for those with limited dexterity.

While the Triple Clean flossers do the job I have now also been trying their Complete Clean and Cross Flosser. The Complete Clean is similar to the Triple Clean but has different size head where the floss is – I found this easier to use, especially on my back teeth. The Cross Flosser has 2 strings of floss in an X-shape rather than the single floss of the Triple Clean and is just as easy to use but works better.

Overall, I love DenTek’s range of interdental brushes, picks, and flossers. They offer a versatile and effective solution for maintaining better oral hygiene, removing more plagues and debris from between the teeth over just brushing alone. The products are well-designed, easy to use, and provide a thorough clean.

I love that the flossers and interdental brushes are made from plant based material and recycled and that the comfort picks are made from recycled plastic.

They are all very easy to use but the interdental brushes do take a few tries to figure out the best way to use them and actually get used to doing it as part of your everyday toothbrushing routine. The brushes may be small but you can easily see what they remove from between your teeth on the bristles.

If you value your oral hygiene and keeping your teeth and gums in the best shape then I can highly recommend using DenTek brushes, flossers and picks – especially the interdental brushes. They are simple to use and very effective, you will be surprised at home much more they actually remove!
