Why do my gums bleed when I use interdental brushes?
When you first start using interdental brushes, your gums may bleed, they may also be tender as you start to remove any plaque build-up. Bleeding is a sign that the gums are not healthy, but this is completely normal if you have not cleaned in between your teeth in this way before.
Can interdental brushes damage gums?
Dentists also point to the fact that floss can cut into gums and damage them, while the interdental brush doesn’t do that. However, some places will only allow access by floss, and your dentist will indicate this if needed. Interdental brushes go between your teeth and destroy the structures of the biofilm.
Does black is white toothpaste work?
Overall, it is a great non abrasive toothpaste to remove and prevent surface staining. It won’t actually whiten the teeth – it will give the appearance of brighter teeth due to the removal of surface stains, but won’t actually change the colour of your teeth.
Should I use interdental brushes before or after brushing?
That’s because new research has shown interdental cleaning before brushing is the best way to clean our teeth effectively. The study found that flossing loosens bacteria and food debris from between the teeth, which allows brushing to be much more successful at removing plaque.
Can you eat an apple after brushing your teeth?

Flossing should be an important part of your daily dental routine. Flossing itself doesn’t lead to black triangles, but the way you clean your teeth could.
