Studies show that interdental brushing can significantly reduce the build-up of harmful bacteria, which can otherwise lead to periodontal tissue inflammation, even after toothbrushing.[i] FLEXI interdental brushes from TANDEX are the perfect solution to recommend to patients. Available in 11 different sizes, there’s a brush to effectively keep every interdental space clean and healthy.
While toothbrushing is vital for maintaining oral health, research shows that the actual plaque removal averages at 42% without additional interdental cleaning.[ii] Educating patients on how to use interdental brushes to reach every vulnerable area of the mouth is easy with the FLEXI Educator tool. Not only can it help patients understand how to properly keep interdental spaces clean, it reminds them which size brush they need and has a handy appointment reminder.
Finally, applying just a small amount of PREVENT Gel from TANDEX to FLEXI interdental brushes is recommended to add the antimicrobial effects of chlorhexidine, as well as the strengthening effects of fluoride.
