Three reasons to consider interdental brushes in your daily brushing ritual: 👉 Everyone has interdental space: if you have two teeth next to one another, you have interdental space. That’s where bacteria build their colonies. 👉Conventional brushing doesn’t reach interdental space, which leaves the bacterial colonies between your teeth untouched, so they can breed and produce bacterial waste. This waste causes caries, gum inflammation and bad breath. 👉 Dental floss doesn’t reach where it’s supposed to: if there are uneven dental spaces, the floss will do nothing to the bacteria inside such space, and the bacteria will keep breeding. Consider trying interdental brushes: they're a safer and more effective way to protect your teeth from dental plaque.

Have you ever wondered why we brush our teeth? Obviously, we do it to keep them healthy, but what we're really doing is breaking down dental plaque – a soft layer of bacteria and leftover bits of food that covers your teeth. And because the layer is so soft, there’s really no need to use force. Gentle strokes with a soft brush will do the trick. Brushing too hard can damage both the protective enamel and the gums around your teeth. In other words, brushing too hard can actually lead to cavities and inflamed gums, so brush gently.

Using a single brush in addition to the regular soft brushes and interdental brushes can be a powerful addition to your brushing ritual. If you use the Hydrosonic system, make sure you explore the advantage of its single brush attachment: 👉The small head with dense bristles cleans harder-to-reach areas, especially your back teeth – this area is the most overlooked and so has the most potential to cause trouble. 👉Regular cleaning with a precise single attachment will keep your teeth and gums healthier.

Did you know that over-brushing is a thing? If you don't have braces, cleaning teeth right after every meal can actually do more harm than good. When we eat, the acidity in the mouth increases to help us break down the food. Brushing while these acids are still active rubs them deeper into the enamel and damages the teeth. Luckily, your mouth has a natural solution. It uses saliva to neutralise the acids and rinse your mouth. After you eat, let your body do the cleaning work. And if you still can't live without frequent brushing, give it at least 30 minutes’ head start.

Soft brush vs. hard brush ✅ A soft and dense brush nicely covers the entire tooth and removes dental plaque ❌ A hard brush combs the dental plaque, leaving traces behind ✅ A soft brush adjusts to and cleans difficult-to-reach places ❌ A hard brush has poorer reach due to rigid bristles ✅ A soft brush is delicate in delicate places – such as the gum line ❌ A hard brush scratches and reduces the gum line Choose softness.

🦷Your teeth enamel is hard, but you should always brush gently 🦷The enamel covering the top of your teeth is the hardest part of your body, and for a good reason. Whenever you chew food, forces of up to 30 kg are exerted on your teeth. That is roughly the weight of four bowling balls. 🦷Since the enamel is hard, it may seem logical that it requires hard treatment – vigorous brushing and extreme pressure. But that’s not actually the case. ❌Scrubbing your teeth vigorously with hard bristles will result in a receding gum line. The hard bristles slowly scrape away your gums until they stop protecting the neck of the tooth, which is much more sensitive to pain. 👉 When you are choosing a toothbrush, ask yourself: What kind of a ritual would I like to have on a daily basis? A gentle one that leaves me feeling refreshed, or a rough, painful one?

Tongue scraping: say goodbye to bad breath 👾 The tongue is a place for bacteria to thrive. Although it is constantly under the wash of saliva, it can accumulate foul-smelling residue over time. A tongue scraper is a great way to clean it off, making your breath even fresher. Cleaning your tongue can cause a gag reflex, here is how to avoid it ⁠— a piece of advice from Ana Stevanović, Head of Education at Curaden: “When I put the scraper on the back of my tongue I always get a gag reflex. But if I place it lightly on the side, rather than in the middle, I find it much easier to clean. First left and then right, just apply a slight pressure and then move the brush forward – it works!”
