Encouraging patients to practise good inter-dental cleaning regimens is often something of a challenge for dental practitioners

Encouraging patients to practise good inter-dental cleaning regimens is often something of a challenge for dental practitioners. According to the British Dental Health Foundation, less than 1% of British people claim to floss their teeth¹,  despite growing evidence linking periodontal health to overall systemic health.²

Now, Swiss oral health specialists, Curaprox have developed a gentle and easy-to-use range of durable, ultrafine interdental brushes designed to make interproximal cleaning that bit easier, thus encouraging patients to take responsibility for the health of their gums.

A brush that fails to completely fill the interdental space will not perform its job efficiently. As a result, Curaprox has developed a range of colour-coded inter-changeable brush heads of differing sizes that can be fitted onto any Curaprox brush handle, making them portable and easy to distinguish.

Gentle on gums, thanks to their soft, flexible filaments, each inter-dental brush is made of a patented nickel free alloy called CURAL, which lasts up to five times longer than other brushes, whilst also offering an ultrafine core width.

With thirty years of experience in the field of oral care, Curaprox is able to offer practitioners a wide array of innovative products designed to assist patients in taking care of their oral health.
