GUM Trav-ler 0.6mm Purple Interdental Brushes, 6 Pieces

GUM Trav-ler Interdental Brushes in the 0.6mm Purple size are the extra-fine option for people with very tightly spaced teeth or narrow interdental spaces where larger brushes cannot enter. The Trav-ler design features a flexible neck with a practical angle that provides better access to posterior teeth and the awkward spaces around dental restorations. The fine coated wire is safe for all dental surfaces.

Specs

• Size: 0.6mm diameter (Purple)
• Type: Interdental brush - flexible neck
• Pack size: 6 brushes
• Wire: Fine coated - safe for all restorations
• Use: Daily interdental cleaning

Benefits

• The 0.6mm size is the appropriate starting point for very tightly spaced teeth - using too large a brush can damage the interdental papilla and cause gum recession, making size selection the most important factor in effective and safe interdental cleaning
• The flexible plastic-coated wire is completely safe for the titanium surfaces of dental implants and the porcelain of crowns and bridges - unlike metal floss picks that can scratch restoration surfaces over time
• Daily interdental brush use consistently outperforms floss for removing plaque from the interdental surfaces of teeth in clinical comparison studies, particularly in patients with periodontal disease who have slightly wider interdental spaces
• The Trav-ler angle makes accessing posterior teeth from the buccal and lingual aspects significantly more comfortable than straight brushes that require awkward hand positioning to reach back teeth
• Reusable design provides several uses per brush head when cleaned properly after each use, making the 6-pack a multi-week supply that represents good value for a daily-use essential

How to Use

• Select the size that fits snugly without requiring force to insert - 0.6mm is typically appropriate for very tight contacts
• Gently insert the brush into the interdental space and move back and forth 2 to 3 times
• Clean the brush under running water and proceed to the next space
• Use after each meal if possible, or at minimum once daily
• Replace when bristles wear or the wire shows signs of deformation
• If 0.6mm is too small for your spaces, move up to the next size (0.8mm or larger)
