Good oral hygiene is important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brushes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good oral hygiene keeps your teeth, molars and gums healthy. Brushing twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste is the basis for this. With a toothbrush alone, you cannot always properly clean the spaces between your teeth. For this, you can use various aids. For example, you can use interdental brushes or spiral brushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental plaque<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plaque forms on and between your teeth. To keep your mouth healthy, you need to remove this barely visible, white-yellowish layer. Plaque consists mainly of bacteria and bacterial products. If you do not remove plaque regularly, the bacteria can cause gum inflammation and cavities. Plaque that is not removed can harden and calcify into tartar. New plaque easily adheres to tartar. The gums can become increasingly inflamed. The inflammation can spread and affect the underlying jawbone. Eventually, so much jawbone can be lost that your teeth become loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removing plaque between teeth with brushes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To remove plaque from between your teeth, you can use different tools, namely brushes, toothpicks or dental floss. Talk to your dentist or dental hygienist about which tool is most suitable for you. Use a brush once a day if the gap is large enough. Is the gap too small for a brush? Then use toothpicks. For very small gaps, it is better to use dental floss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What types of brushes are there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The brush follows the shape of the molar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ragers zijn er in verschillende soorten en dikten. Sommige ragers hebben een lange spiraalborstel,\u00a0 andere hebben een kort borsteltje dat in een handvat of houder wordt vastgezet. Overleg met uw tandarts of mondhygi\u00ebnist welke rager u het beste kunt gebruiken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the beginning, using brushes is sometimes difficult and painful. The gums then bleed easily because they are still inflamed. If you use the brush daily, the inflammation disappears and so does the bleeding. Moreover, using it becomes less painful. Bleeding gums can also result from incorrect technique. Doesn't the bleeding get less or worse? If so, see your dentist or dental hygienist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Maak de rager eerst nat onder de kraan en doe er geen tandpasta op.\u00a0Pak de rager tussen duim en wijsvinger vast en duw deze vanaf de buitenkant tussen tanden en kiezen. Met de andere vingers steunt u tegen de aangrenzende tanden of kiezen. Voorkom doorschieten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


2. A brush should encounter some resistance during use, but the metal core (wire) should not touch the teeth or gums. Close your mouth slightly when using the brush in the back of your mouth. This will reduce the tension of your cheeks. For the gaps at the back of the mouth, you can bend the brush slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Avoid pricking your gums. Do you end up poking your gums? Then insert the brush at a slight angle. On the upper jaw more obliquely from above, on the lower jaw more obliquely from below.

4. Move the brush back and forth a few times. You can sometimes increase the interface with the tooth while doing this by changing direction (X-figure).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. If you find that the brush barely experiences any resistance when used, it is better to try a size larger. It is often necessary to use several sizes side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: For large gaps, it can be useful to insert two brushes at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Reinig alle tussenruimten waarin een rager past. Ragers kunnen\u00a0verschillende keren worden\u00a0gebruikt. Spoel ze daarom na afloop goed af en laat ze drogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note: Excessive or incorrect use of oral hygiene aids can cause damage to teeth and gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
