TePe Proximal brushes are recommended for those who prefer an interdental brush with a long handle. It facilitates cleaning between the posterior teeth and from the palatal and lingual sites. Choose between two different angles for best access.
These proximal brushes are available in the same colour coded sizes as the Interdental brushes but have a much longer detachable handle. Easy to use towards the back of the mouth. These also have a plastic coated metal wire and so are safe for implants, bridges and crowns.
Tips on using a TePe Proximal Brush
- Choose a proximal brush size that will fit your interdental spaces.
Note that it is very likely that more than one brush size will be needed.
If you are not sure, let your dentist or dental hygienist choose the right size(s) for you. - Don’t use toothpaste unless advised to do so by a dental professional.
- Use the interdental brush once a day.
- Change brush when it is getting worn.
- Slide the proximal brush in at right angles very gently between your teeth.
If it does not glide easily, work it in gently or choose a smaller size. - Move the proximal brush full length back and forth until the interdental area is clean.
- Easy to open and close against e.g. a table in case of reduced manual dexterity.
