Piksters Interdental Brushes, Size 5, Blue Handle

Having had gingivitus (a hereditary gum disease) all of my adult life, I have needed to take extra care of my teeth. Over the years and after three surgeries (ten years apart) I now have a lowered gum line which results in wider spaces between my teeth. When used regularly I think these types of brushes work better than floss and the proof for me is when the dentist says there are no problems (like bleeding gums). So why is this brand better? It is because the little rubber coated handles DO NOT BEND. This is a big deal! Years ago with another brand.....the handles were likewise rigid and hard. And then this other (major) brand changed to a little handle that flexes. And all of a sudden, I could not clean my teeth because there was no control in wide gaps. If I tried to push the little brush against the tooth, the handle flexed. Imagine trying to get into any kind of a gap with something that is limp and flexible. So with great anticipation, I ordered this Pikster brand hoping they would be rigid and do the trick. And they did! Perhaps order several different sizes to find your best size. This product is perhaps the best on the market today. Also I have learned that electric toothbrushes really do clean better than manual. If you have a gum problem or want to keep your teeth and gums healthy, use an electric tooth brush and use these brushes (even if you don't floss). Use the Pikster between each of your teeth (and don't forget the very back where food hides). Do this routine at least morning and night. Other wise bacteria has time to take hold. It took me decades and much money given to dentists to learn this routine and I give the advice to you hoping to save you money and save you from surgical pain. Thanks to Pikster, my teeth feel clean again!

Along with the Power Pikster these keep the spaces between my teeth clean with minimal effort. Having set up subscription I never run out of them.

It was extremely difficult for me to remove the from its protective sleeve otherwise they’re good

It is what I ordered and it arrived on time.I also appreciate the fact that if it was not what I ordered, I could have easily return the item.

These are so good! I use these every day. One will usually last 3-4 days. Just rinse under the tap after using and replace the cap.Some of my teeth are very close together and these do a good job of keeping them clean.

They are small enough for my tight teeth. Also, a great addition to my oral care routine. Love that they are reusable.

I tried these because I have a permanent retainer, and in the past my dentist gave me similar picks which were helpful for that. The ones my dentist gave me were made of some sort of plastic or rubbery material. When I tried these, though, I had trouble because this is made out of filaments that broke and got caught in my teeth. It was very unpleasant. It may be that I just need a narrower size, but I was disappointed with my current experience.

Works great gets in between each tooth
