FAQs

Are these brushes safe for my dental implants?

Yes, the Ultradex Wire-Free Interdental Brushes are made from a soft, flexible, latex-free material with no metal parts, making them safe for use around implants, crowns, fillings, veneers, and bridges.

How often should I use these interdental brushes?

It is recommended to use them after brushing and between meals, or as directed by your dental professional, for effective plaque and debris removal.

What is the recommended interdental gap size for the Small/Medium brushes?

The Small/Medium size features a tapered design suitable for interdental gaps ranging from 1mm to 3mm.

Can I reuse the interdental brushes?

Yes, you can reuse them. However, rinse the brush thoroughly with water after each use and allow it to air dry. Replace the brush when the bristles show signs of wear or damage, typically after about a week of regular use.

Why are these better than traditional floss?

They are particularly beneficial for individuals who find traditional flossing difficult or uncomfortable. The brush design allows for easier maneuverability and effective cleaning between teeth and along the gum line, especially around dental work.

What should I do if my gums bleed when using them?

If you experience gum bleeding or persistent discomfort, discontinue use and consult your dentist. This may indicate an underlying issue or a need to adjust your technique.

Do these brushes contain fluoride?

Yes, the Ultradex Wire-Free Interdental Brushes are coated with fluoride, which helps support cavity prevention.

What is the material of the brushes?

The brushes are made from a soft, pliable, rubber-like, latex-free flexible material.

Troubleshooting

Brush tip breaks off

Ensure you are not excessively flexing the brush tip. If a piece breaks off, carefully remove it from your mouth and discontinue use of that brush. Use with care and do not force into tight spaces.

Difficulty inserting brush between teeth

The space may be too tight for this size. Try a different angle or consult your dentist for advice on the best interdental cleaning method for very tight spaces.

Gum bleeding or discomfort after use

Stop use immediately and consult your dentist. This could indicate underlying gum issues or that the technique needs adjustment. Ensure you are using a gentle motion.

Brush does not feel effective

Ensure you are using the correct size for your interdental spaces and that you are using the back-and-forth motion as recommended. For optimal results, use as part of the complete UltraDEX oral care system.
