Interdental Brush
As you're browsing the dental care section at CVS, no doubt you'll come across something called an interdental brush. While you might think they're only meant for those with braces, research has shown that, when used daily, they're a significant enhancement or alternative to flossing. While nothing can replace a consistent dental hygiene routine and regular cleanings at your dentist's office, interdental brushes are perfect for removing the buildup that could eventually lead to plaque and decay.

How to Use an Interdental Brush
Whether you're using an interdental brush for braces or for regular oral hygiene, they're easy to use. Interdental brushes, such as CVS Health's Tight Spaces interdental brushes, are flexible. Simply remove a single interdental brush from the package, and insert it into the spaces between your braces or between your teeth and gums. Work gently along the gum line to remove food and debris, and follow up with an ADA-approved toothbrush and toothpaste, such as those found in the CVS oral care section.
What Is an Interdental Brush?
Much like dental floss, the interdental brushes at CVS are designed to reach into the crevices between your teeth and gums. Whether you choose an electric interdental brush or the manual version, each dental treatment is meant to get between the spaces that your toothbrush might miss. With a series of small brushes mounted on a flexible head, interdental brushes are ideal for removing food or daily cleaning. While flossing with a quality dental floss, such as Oral-B Glide, might be able to provide a deeper clean because it gets lower into the gums, removing the initial debris with an interdental brush prevents it from sinking to the gum line in the first place.
