Why the sides matter
Toothbrush bristles do not reach far between teeth. Plaque left there is a common reason gums stay inflamed.
String floss
Wrap, curve into a C against each tooth, and slide gently under the gumline. Do not snap. Waxed floss can slide more easily in tight contacts.
Picks and interdental brushes
Small brushes sized for your gaps can clean faster for some people. Start with a size that fits without force.
Water flossers
A stream of water can flush food and disrupt plaque. Useful with braces, bridges, or limited dexterity. Follow the device directions.
Make it stick
Pair between-teeth cleaning with an existing habit, like after the evening brush. Consistency matters more than brand names.
