Interdental brushes

My crowding was so bad that floss would snag and leave bits, even my dentist struggled to clean my teeth and was relieved when my cardiologist sent him over journal articles saying that he was ok to go back to ultrasonic cleaning (I have a pacemaker). My orthodontic requirements were bad enough to qualify for nhs funding as my bite didn’t allow me to eat a sandwich (I’d leave a dent in bread but not bite through it). So maybe I’m a drastic case but the easypicks got me through my treatment and both my dentist and orthodontist are happy with my gums.

Thats a great advert for the easypick ones I will try those first.

I can and do floss but wanted to start using the interdental brushes as well as they seem like they will be easier/quicker to use so it is something I would do every day. I have to confess to not flossing everyday sorry a dentist will be along in a minute to quite rightly tell me off .

Check to see if anyone is doing a 342 offer on dental products- I got mine that way at Superdrug (a few months ago...)

My bathroom looks like a dentist reception with the stuff in the cabinet. I have floss, tape, easypiks in the two sizes, interdental brushes in various sizes, a funny shaped brush for a weird corner of my upper retainer that I can’t get with my toothbrush, normal manual toothbrush, electric toothbrush, water jet, braces wax (can’t wait to get rid of it) and toothpaste.

My jaw is wide and my palate is high because I have marfanoid features connected to a heart condition so it just makes everything so awkward with my teeth, I think my dentist regrets taking me on to be honest.
