TePeInterdental Angle Green Surgery 25 Pack

Worth every penny! Package was open and not sealed, but all brushes present great for interdental cleaning.

A few years ago now, I was recommended by my dentist to try interdental brushes. I am 60 years old and although I have not needed a filling for over 20 years, I have required several root-canal treatments and caps etc. The gaps between my teeth are of variable sizes. Some will trap a piece of dental floss and not allow it to move, and others are wider than doubled and knotted dental floss.Originally I tried possibly every brand of interdental brushes, including the short TePe ones, and in a range of sizes. Overall I find the Tepe brushes to be the best, in terms of ease of use and apparent effectiveness.These angled and long-handled brushes make it far easier to reach the molars etc towards the back of my mouth, and to brush from the inside of the teeth.As I have said, the spaces between my teeth vary, so I need to have a selection of these brushes available, although the sizes I use mostly are 0.40, 0.45, 0.5mm.There is a knack to using them - as far as possible you need to have the bristles as perpendicular to the space you wish to clean as you can get, and gently manipulate the brush into the space. If you feelno resistance at all - you might be using too small a brush. If the brush bends immediately, then you might be using too large a brush for that gap.If the brush part does get bent, it is a simple matter to straighten it between finger and thumb.Included in the pack is a small plastic cap that fits over the brush-end, and is used to protect the bristles once you have started using the brush.I find that these bristles are effective at cleaning between the teeth (according to my dentist and hygienist), and they do not seem harsh on the gums themselves. I do get slight bleeding occasionally - only slight and that is normal.I have a couple of sensitive spots and I often dab a bit of sensodyne toothpaste on the brush before cleaning between a particular pair of teeth.definitely recommended.

The handle makes them MUCH easier to use than the normal brushes (I have issues with my joints and the normal ones are sometimes tricky to handle and get where you need them to be). Comfortable soft brush, good size and sturdy enough to use several times before discarding.

No issues and seems quite sturdy

I cannot get on with dental floss or short handled Tepes, but long handled Tepes are excellent. They are easy to manoeuvre between the teeth, that is assuming you are in front of the bathroom mirror.Tepes come in 9 brush thicknesses, ranging from the pink which is very thin, up to black which is the thickest. Your dentist will advise you which size Tepe (or Tepes) you should be using.I found it’s more cost effective to buy the packs of 25, rather than in packs of 6, plus with the 25 pack you get a protective cap for each brush rather than just one cap in the 6 pack.

Perfect for reaching the gaps between your teeth at the back of your mouth when your hand is too big to fit in!These are now part of my daily routine for teeth cleaning!

On my last visit to my hygienist she recommended I try these as they are angled correctly.Little bit sceptical but found these on your site ordered them and they really are great.

I always struggled to floss at the very back of my mouth, but these will reach. It's a but fiddly to start with but if you practice with a mirror you can get the coordination to do a good job.
