Help customers avoid the dreaded drill by keeping a healthy, plaque-free mouth. Efficient cleaning is the key, says Jocelyn Bailey, who brushes up on her dental know-how ...

Floss Alternatives

TePe Interdental Brushes have strong, springy, plastic-coated wires that slide easily between the teeth for maximum plaque removal. Available in seven colour-coded sizes to fit and clean a range of spaces, the brand claims it's a favourite amongst dental professionals.

What the dentist says:

"Interdental cleaning is essential for healthy teeth and gums. Most people find interdental brushes easier to use than floss and therefore more effective."

Other little helpers

Or course there are always other ways to keep the mouth a happy, drill-free zone.

• Supplements: Now theres even a pill to plague the plaque. ProDen PlaqueOff™ is a seaweed-based supplement that helps prevent it from forming and sticking to the teeth. After 16 weeks of two tablets a day, tests showed that plaque and calculus were reduced by up to 85 per cent.
• Bacteria-busters: Tongue cleaning reduces bacteria levels in the mouth (not to mention clearing the smelly sulfurous compounds that cause bad breath). Effective cleaners include Molar's TongueDetox, a two handled model that clears debris and bacteria in a single swipe.

TePe Interdental brushes, ProDen PlaqueOff™ and Tongue Detox are all available by mail order call 0845 226 0660 to place an order and online at Dental Products 2U.
