Advantages: Easy to use, extremely effective, delivers good results Disadvantages: Slightly expensive
...Regular use of the Tepe brush will prevent plaque from forming around those hard to clean areas and will help to eliminate foul smelling breath emitted by rotting food lodged between teeth.
Six months ago I went for my dental check up and ritual humiliation ceremony and was quite seriously worried when my friendly vet…err sorry, butcher……err I mean dentist's face lit up with pleasure when he saw me.
"Ohhhhhhh Helen," he rubbed his hands together ... ...for a pack of 8 Tepe Interdental brushes and off I merrily skipped to try them out for myself.
At this point I would advise that for the first few times of using this product it is easier to do so by using a mirror. I can do it now without but until you get a 'feel' for the brush it is easier to use by looking in the mirror.
That night before I went to bed I decided to have a bash with the Tepe. I had a quick scan of the information on the packet:

>>> SO WHAT ARE INTERDENTAL BRUSHES USED FOR? <<<
==================================================
Basically, these are ideal for people who do not like flossing - i.e. ME! The reason we are advised to floss regularly is to remove debris from between the teeth, hence promoting healthy teeth and gums (and a ... ...calm my gums down, but TePe interdental brushes is the only thing that has made such a dramatic improvement. I would certainly recommend these to anyone who has a problem with bleeding gums, and believe me, it is a lot less hassle and time consuming than using dental floss. So wave goodbye to the dental floss and tape, and say hello to TePe. Who knows, maybe you can do it every night too! THANKS FOR READING - AND HAPPY BRUSHING! ...

Advantages: Especially good for those with large gaps between their posterior teeth Disadvantages: Not very useful if the gaps between you teeth are very narrow.
...2) Use Interdental Brushes.
-- Tepe Interdental Brushes --
TePe designs, manufactures and sells oral health products and was founded in 1965, in Sweden. Tepe Interdental brushes are ideal for those who have larger gaps in between their teeth or those who find flossing absolutely a nightmare. The beauty about these is that they are hand held and come in many sizes ranging from 0.4mm to 1.3mm which all have a specific colour: Pink 0.4mm, Gold 0.45 ... ...Green 0.8 mm, Purple 1.1 mm and finally Grey 1.3 mm. -- How do I use them? --
I would first advise that you seek dental advice to help find the correct size. Some people have different sized spacing in different areas of their mouth and in those cases, more than one set of brushes will be needed.
- For the front teeth, insert the brushes in the space between the teeth at the level of the gums
- Once inserted, gently move the brush back and forth ...

Advantages: Small , does the job , gentle , easy to use , hygienic , tough Disadvantages: Not very cheap
...last visit, she suggested trying TePe interdental brushes.
Before I tell you about these brushes I shall just give a little of my background information. Although I still have my own tooshies ( teeth to most of you :) ) I have had a fair few problems over the years. Teeth which have not grown through needing removing, roots of teeth left since childhood becoming infected, crowns, caps and finally a year or two ago I needed a small dental bridge ... ...she suggested I try the TePe interdental brushes. Down at the reception I enquired and was advised to purchase the 0.4mm ones. These are very small and often used for children but they were just right for under the bit of my bridge that needed it and perfect between teeth which are very close.
My purchase was a small cellophane packet containing 10 of these small TePe brushes . They have a pink polypropylene handle with the brush at one end. The ...

Advantages: The Best I've Found Disadvantages: May still need floss
...answer was no. Unlike others TePe neither leaves bits of the brush between teeth (and that HURTS!) nor refuses to go between teeth. Others preferred to bend back as if in fear. TePe also stays on the holder provided. With another, I had been left with a brush between my teeth and a holder in my hand.
I 've found that they can be rinsed well, then stored in the handle for reuse. One brand had a habit of only surviving half a mouth. Needless to say, ... ...teeth and are much more comfortable and easier to use than dental floss: You can have a good poke without cutting gum or fingernail. They do not clean the curve of teeth but seem to make the following use of floss in that zone easier. I guess if floss is still needed, this could be considered a disadvantage, it is for me.
I highly recommend these interdental brushes.. ...

Quick review of Tepe Interdental Brushes
I have been using TePe brushes for several years, since I always found that floss frayed and left bits behind between my teeth. I recently visited the dentist for the first time in about 3 years (I know, I know!) and he said that my oral hygiene was so good he didn't even need to refer me to the hygienist. He put it down to the fact that I use TePe brushes. ...
