Buildups of plaque pave the way to decay, cavities, structural damage and, possibly, root canal therapy. That’s why it’s imperative to eliminate plaque where it hides: between your teeth. Interdental instruments that suit your requirements are your best weapons against plaque.
From their first visit to follow-ups, our patients’ needs come first at the office of Concho Valley Endodontics. We know that confidence about your smile and overall oral health affects the way you feel about yourself personally, socially and professionally. We are always at the forefront of dental research and use the latest diagnostic and treatment technology to help our patients with issues that require endodontic services.
Your war on plaque should include a single interdental tool or a combination of interdental brushes, picks and flosses. The head of a pick or brush should slide easily but snuggly between your teeth. Never force an interdental in; go down a size instead. If the spaces between your teeth vary, you may need more than one size. Fortunately, interdentals come in a variety of sizes.
Back teeth tend to accumulate the most plaque. Tackle it with interdental brushes with bendable necks. Their flexibility allows easier access back there.
Braces and other orthodontic appliances pose bigger challenges. Wires and brackets create some pretty tight spaces. Look for floss brushes whose purpose is to easily sneak around the nooks and crannies that orthodontia create.
Floss brushes that are clinically designed with nylon-coated wire that comfortably cleans around orthodontic appliances can also remove plaque from fixtures, implants and other dental devices without causing scratching or galvanic shock.
Tightly-spaced teeth can be tough to de-plaque. Dental floss coated with wax and picks with ultra-soft, rubber bristles are your best bets.
Cleaning between your teeth twice a day is the best way to remove plaque and prevent build-up. The office of Concho Valley Endodontics performs a complete array of endodontic procedures with the utmost care and precision. Please call us today to schedule an appointment!
