How long does one DePlaque interproximal brush last? When should I replace my brush with a new one?

• Depending on frequency and the size of space in which it’s being used, anywhere from two weeks to one month! Use in tight spaces causes the bristles to wear quicker. Replace as soon as the bristles seem to be worn out.

How long should I be brushing each space?

• Use the brush in and out of each area only a few times. When using Silverline brushes, be careful not to rub the handle against the tooth surface. Excessive use can cause gum recession.

Can I use interproximal brushes with toothpaste or mouthwash?

• Toothpaste is often too abrasive for the tooth surface, especially if there is recession and the roots are exposed. A brush dipped in mouthwash works well!

What if the smallest brush size [size C] is still too large for the space between my teeth?
