Importance of Gum Care

Every day, food debris and bacteria build up along the gums. If these impurities are not removed, a host of problems can arise. Cleaning your gums daily can go a long way toward protecting your mouth. Your dentist can give you tips regarding gum care and recommend the best products for your needs.

Benefits of Interdental Cleaners

Dental floss is the oral care product most commonly used for cleaning the gum line; however, it is not the only way to care for your gums. Interdental cleaners provide an alternative. Some people prefer interdental cleaners because they feel that they are easier to use properly. In addition, orthodontic appliances and other types of dental work may make it difficult to use traditional floss. Interdental cleaners can provide an alternative.

Types of Interdental Cleaners

There are a number of types of interdental cleaners available for you to consider. Mini brushes are a simple-to-use interdental cleaning option. With their tiny heads, these brushes can fit in between the teeth and along the gum line and can be used for scrubbing like a toothbrush. Toothpicks, dental picks and sticks are other alternatives. These products are normally made out of flexible plastic and can be used to lift or gently scrape off impurities. Like dental floss, most interdental cleaners are designed to be used just one time and are then thrown away, but there are some cleanable, reusable products offered by oral care brands as well.

Other Gum Care Products

Depending on your oral care needs, you may require other gum care products. Dentists sometimes recommend gum stimulators for certain individuals. These oral care tools have rubbery tips that are used to massage the gums. For discomfort, oral care providers may suggest a topical product alleviate pain.
