Interdental Brushing The TePe interdental brush is used to clean in between teeth. Turning the brush on insertion will help access. Used daily, it removes plaque and food debris where your usual brush cannot reach. For spaces at the back of the mouth, bend the brush in a slight curve but never at right angles this will help you access the more difficult-to-reach areas. A choice of 8 colour-coded sizes is available to help clean different sized spaces. |

Power Brushing Angle the bristles at 45º to the gum line. There's no need to scrub - hold the brush in position and after a few seconds sweep the bristles away from the gum. Repeat around the outer and inner surfaces of all teeth. Particularly effective inter-dentally. The whole procedure should take about 2 minutes. |

Proximal Brushing The TePe Proximal brush comes in 7 sizes for cleaning different sized spaces. Click the brush open to insert the head and click down to secure. Insert the head from the inside surfaces or outside surface of the teeth. Use daily to remove plaque and food debris from between the teeth. The brush is particularly useful for cleaning the back teeth. |

Interspace Brush Periodontal disease causes pocketing around the necks of the teeth. Left undisturbed plaque bacteria thrive in these pockets causing the pockets to deepen. A standard toothbrush is not able to access these pockets. The TePe Interspace brush can access these pockets and disrupt bacteria. Regular use will discourage disease-causing bacteria from accumulating. |
