Dental Flosses : The floss is made from thin nylon filaments or polyethylene ribbons to remove food particles and plaque from between the teeth. |
|
Interdental Cleaners : These small brushes are tender on the gums and very efficient in cleaning the cervices between the gums. |

Tongue Cleaners : Tongue cleaners are unique devices designed to remove bacteria, fungi, and food debris from the tongue surface. |

Toothbrushes : The vibrating or revolving motion helps remove plaque and lift food particles from around the gums and teeth |
Soft bristle toothbrushes are safer and less damaging to the gum tissue. Also, an appropriate sized ADA approved toothbrush should be chosen to allow proper cleaning of all the teeth
