Dental health

I brush my teeth daily in the conventional way, using an ordinary tooth-brush. For the past few years, I have been visiting my dentist regularly to look at some dental problem. The dentist recommended that I should also use an inter dental brush (like a small christmas tree). This is an alternative to flossing the teeth, which has been quite troublesome.

Recently, I changed my brushing habit. Apart from using the ordinary brush, I spent a minute to use the interdental brush to remove the food particles between the teeth. It was quite easy and is likely to be quite useful.

Like to share your experience on dental health?

Here is a picture of an interdental (christmas tree) brush.
