Accessories that go everywhere and clean your interdental spaces

Thoroughly brushing your teeth is not enough for good dental hygiene, because our toothbrushes only reach an average of 60% of tooth surfaces. With the right accessories, you can clean the spaces you leave untouched and prevent tartar and cavities.
Dental care is not just about brushing your teeth with toothpaste. Thorough cleaning of the interdental spaces is essential for healthy teeth. Dental floss, interdental brushes and hydro-propellants ensure the cleanliness of these spaces, which are generally inaccessible to the toothbrush. Daily use will significantly improve the health of your teeth. Your dental hygienist will compliment you, and you'll be proud to have made cleaning your interdental spaces part of your daily routine. After all, if food remains are not removed regularly, they can not only cause infections, gingivitis and even periodontitis, but also give you bad breath.
How to clean the interdental spaces without damaging the gums?
Our grandparents (or maybe even our parents) used wooden toothpicks to clean the interdental spaces. You can still get them in shops or restaurants, but, you guessed it, they're dangerous to handle. All it takes is one little clumsy gesture to injure yourself. You risk damaging your gums rather than contributing to your dental hygiene.
At present, dentists recommend dental floss or interdental brushes. Dental floss is rather thin, so it requires a bit of dexterity. It's not very complicated to use, but you risk creating small lesions on your gums if you lack patience. We therefore recommend that you use it with care.

Mouthwashes - perfect for the impatient
As well as good old-fashioned dental floss and interdental brushes, hydro-pumpers also clean the interdental spaces. They have the same proven effectiveness as dental floss, but are much easier to use. They clean gently and are perfect for floss enemies.
And to finish on a high note, mouthwash!
Use a mouthwash to provide clean interdental spaces with protective enzymes and proteins.
