Your daily home care is the most important factor in controlling dental disease.
Gum Soft-Picks is the main alternative to flossing. If you do not like flossing or have trouble doing it, this is what you need to use. It is designed to remove plaque and debris between teeth.
Instructions:
Insert it into the embrasure spaces that exist between each tooth and its neighbor. Move the pick in and out several times in each embrasure space.
It may be necessary to clean the pick by holding it under running water in order to remove debris and plaque that may be deposited during the mechanical cleansing of the spaces.
Discard the pick after use.
The Sulcabrush™ is another alternative to flossing and can also help you reach areas your toothbrush cannot. It is not as effective as floss or the Soft-Pick. It is mainly designed to remove plaque and debris at the gumline.
Instructions:
Place the end marked outside on the edge of the gumline. Continuously follow the wavy gumline, adding a circular motion between the teeth.
Continue to apply firm pressure while following the wavy gumline on the inside of the mouth, using the end marked inside.
The inside angle is also very effective for reaching the gums behind the back teeth.
