An interdental brush is a small, bristled brush that is used to clean between the teeth. Toothbrushing alone only cleans the outer surfaces. Most toothbrushes, even electric, cannot reach between the teeth well enough to remove plaque and debris.
Using an interdental brush ensures that all areas of your mouth are clean and free from plaque, preventing tooth decay and gum disease. They can be used at home, and are also used in the clinical setting.Â

Using an interdental brush ensures that all areas of your mouth are clean and free from plaque, preventing tooth decay and gum disease. They can be used at home, and are also used in the clinical setting.Â
Dentists and dental hygienists use interdental brushes in a wide variety of cases, from treating periodontitis to the aftercare treatment of procedures such as implants.
Interdental brushes are available in different sizes to suit the different sized gaps between the teeth.
Professional brushes can also be used for specific circumstances such as brushing around a feature such as a crown or implant.
Using an interdental brush is similar to flossing, in that it uses the same motion to clean between teeth. You should use an interdental brush once a day, before or after your regular toothbrushing. If you are suffering from gum disease, you may need to use an interdental brush twice a day. Your dentist can advise you.
Be gentle when using an interdental brush. Work the brush between the teeth using a backwards-forwards motion. Never force the brush into a gap – choose a smaller size if it doesn’t fit. Repeat the motion a few times.Â
To remove the brush, pull it backwards through the gap. This brings any plaque and debris out with the brush.Â
Work your way around the mouth to clean each gap. You may need to bend the brush a little to brush between the back teeth properly.
Your gums may feel tender at first and may bleed a little. This is normal and should stop after a few days as all the plaque is removed and your gums become healthy. If your gums continue to bleed you should call your dentist immediately, or book in at our London clinic for an emergency appointment.

Gum disease is the top reason for losing teeth, and most people get by not knowing that they have it and will only be concerned when they see bleeding.
It would be best to protect your gums from disease, but we can cure it for you if you suffer gum loss or infections.
We do scaling and root planing, which is to meticulously clean the roots, removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria. This is usually followed by weeks of taking antibiotics to eliminate further infection.
We do tray delivery systems, implants, regeneration, soft tissue grafting, gingivectomy, or gingival sculpting.
Holford Partners Curaden is the best place to get affordable yet effective treatments if you have any gum problems. Interdental brushes are key tools that you should use for your at home cleaning maintenance in addition to your treatment.
We offer lingual braces to fix your smile effectively. They are hidden from view, with less impact on speech, and don’t interfere with your lips.
You can also get Invisalign, a transparent plastic retainer that effectively aligns your teeth without having you lose your confidence.
We ensure that your straightened teeth remain to have the proper bite and don’t return to their misshapen condition with our retainers.
We also offer braces, orthodontic elastics, and all solutions for any issue you have when it comes to the form of your teeth.
We make all affordable options available, and we ensure faster treatment than any other clinic can do.Â
Interdental brushes are a great tool to clean not only between your teeth but also between the brackets of your brace to avoid any unnecessary cavities and fillings.
The composite and porcelain veneers that we will layer on your teeth’ surface will make your smile better and bring your confidence to the next level.
Our veneers will improve the looks and function of your teeth while protecting them from damage.
Our veneers last longer than anything you’ll get from other clinics as they are made with the best materials, utmost care and adherence to the highest quality standards.
Veneers are perfect for an aesthetic upgrade or if you are recommended to have them for protective purposes.
However it may be, when you get veneers from Holford Partners Curaden, you’ll come out of the clinic beaming with confidence.
If you have a lost or broken tooth, you can replace or fortify it with a crown. It is made of ceramic and is a durable and beautiful solution to your problem.
A crown will be used to cover a dental implant. Usually, you will first get a temporary one after surgery.
A crown will also be ideal for covering a severely damaged tooth, holding a bridge to replace several missing teeth, or using it for cosmetic purposes. Permanent crowns are made in our laboratory.
A bridge is used to cover adjacent lost teeth, attached via a crown on an implant or a damaged tooth.
If you want to smile with beaming confidence again, book an appointment with us – we got everything covered.
We offer gold inlays, a solid alternative to fillings that can last you 20 years or more. We fortify our inlays by combining the best metals.
If you have had damages to your teeth due to decay or an accident, gold inlays are an excellent choice.
The gold and metals we use are hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, making them 100% safe for your health. They are an excellent alternative to composite fillings.
Getting gold inlays involves the same drilling procedures and filling as regular ones – except the material is different.
If you are looking for gold inlays, you can have the procedure done at Holford Partners Curaden with top-notch quality.
A root canal is done to save a tooth that would otherwise be removed because of inflammation or infection in the canals holding its pulp, causing intense pain.
This endodontic surgical procedure will remove the throbbing pain without having you lose your precious tooth.
After an x-ray diagnosis and finding out you need the procedure, the goal will be to remove the pulp, cleaning the canal thoroughly, and sealing it to prevent future infection.
After the procedure, we will use an impression of your teeth to create a crown, making your tooth good as new.
We make sure that you will experience zero pain and guarantee 100% relief from your discomfort.
Extractions are needed either as a last resort for a severely damaged or infected tooth or as a prerequisite for orthodontics or cosmetic procedures.
This procedure is painless and straightforward, with the use of anaesthesia and dental tools.
When you are scheduled for extraction due to infection, your dentist would’ve probably given you antibiotics a week before the date to prevent complications post-surgery.
After the procedure, you can continue with your cosmetics or have your tooth replaced with an implant or dentures.
You can have all these services at Holford Partners Curaden, and you won’t have to jump from one clinic to another.
If you have lost a tooth or after an extraction, you have the option of getting a dental implant. It is a painless surgery you can have with us.
A dental implant is a metal post attached to your jaw bone that serves as the root’s replacement.
The surgery will last 1-2 hours per tooth, and you will have to wait for at least three months of complete healing before the final restoration of your smile. You first will be given a temporary crown.
Three to six months later, your lab-made crown is done, and the final steps are achieved.
Come to Holford Partners Curaden for dental implants. We guarantee quality work that lasts a lifetime.

When you have a throbbing toothache, it could mean a few things. Either you have an injured tooth or an infection, and in most cases, you either have a cavity or abscess.
The issue you will have is that you won’t be able to determine which is which. You cannot diagnose yourself based on the symptoms you are feeling.
It wouldn’t be easy for you to see a cavity or abscess. Sometimes they are impossible to find with non-expert eyes and no tools.
What you need to do is call your dentist for an appointment and book an emergency checkup. Tell the dentist everything you are feeling and the things you think might have caused the toothache.
If there is a significant waiting time before your appointment and you want some comfort, you can use anti-inflammatory medicine for quick relief, but only if you are sure you have no allergies to the drugs. Your most common options are naproxen, mefenamic acid, or ibuprofen.
If you are unsure about taking medicine without advice, you can apply a cold compress and gargle with salt water to level down the pain.
When your appointment comes, your dentist will check your teeth and pinpoint your problem. Afterwhich, you are recommended either extraction, root canal, or composite fillings.
Considering the subjects in comparison, you should take them from the perspective of someone who wants some teeth or a tooth replaced. The answer, still, depends on particular contexts.
If you are ready for surgery, time and budget-wise, you are better off having crowns or bridges. They are a more permanent replacement for teeth and require less maintenance from you when all procedures are completed.
If you don’t have the time and money yet, the best alternative for you will be dentures. You only have to wait for your gums to heal, then the dentist will use an imprint of your mouth to make your dentures.
However, you must note that there are dentures that still require that you have implants. Some dentures need to be affixed to an implant, and permanent dentures definitely require them.
One more thing about dentures, especially detachable ones, is that they require extra cleaning.
The best thing you can do to get your answer is to talk to a dentist. Only an expert oral health care practitioner can tell you the best option you can take.
Tell your dentist about your time and budget, and you will be given an option that fits your situation well. Make sure you are talking to a dentist who will do a high-quality job with your teeth.
Making sure that the job is done well ensures that you will not waste your time and money.
Anyone with a decent amount of bone is an excellent candidate for dental implants. Once you’ve stopped growing after the age of 23 you are eligible for dental implants to replace lost or missing permanent teeth.
You can think of implants as a hook for your frame. You need a stable wall to affix it to.
If the wall is too thin, narrow or weak, you will have to prepare the wall first. Translating this situation to your jawbone, it means that you have suffered from bone loss.
Usually, bone loss happens when you lose your teeth. Within three to six months, significant shrinkage of the bone in the lost tooth area will occur.
When there has been significant bone loss, you will have to prepare it, and the solution for that is bone grafting. Bone grafting is done by supplementing your jaw bone with human, animal, or synthetic bone material, making it strong enough and ready for implants after some months of healing.
With a prepared jawbone, anyone can get a dental implant.
To maintain your dental implants, you have to clean with a soft-bristle brush and low to non-abrasive toothpaste twice a day. It is vital that you brush around the implant crown to remove any lingering bacteria from food.
One of the best cleaning tools you can use would be a nylon-coated interdental brush so that you can reach areas not accessed by your regular brush. All oral hygiene products can be purchased during your visit to the clinic.
Your dentist might also prescribe you implant-specific floss and an oral irrigator for excellent maintenance.
Hence, it is vital that you regularly visit your dentist and hygienist so that you can have the best advice for cleaning your dental implants the right way.
Whenever we make a diagnosis, we will give you all options available, ranging from the cheapest to the most expensive. We can arrange scheduled procedures and help you choose the best, most affordable alternative to match your budget.
Whether you are a janitor or a superstar, we will treat you as well as we treat everyone – with warmth and hospitality. Our goal is oral health care – keyword care.
We guarantee that whatever procedure you get from us, you will receive the best quality results that will indeed allow you to avoid repeats or troubleshoots. Our quality dental work will save you a lot of money.
Other dentists will sell out for cheap but provide lousy results. With bad dental work, you could end up having complications that can cost significantly more money than you initially required.
Our treatments’ results are effective and long-lasting, which means that you won’t have to worry about problems, pain, and discomfort for a significant amount of time.
We do not serve online consultation because dental check-ups require dentists to take a close look at your teeth and gums. Even if you had a powerful camera that you can put inside your mouth, you wouldn’t know how a health professional would angle it correctly.
What we do is put Covid-19 protocols in place so that we can avoid infection for our dentists, staff, and patients.
