Interdental brush

Interdental means “between the teeth”. This term refers to a very small brush for cleaning the spaces between the teeth.

Interdental brushes have a similar purpose to flossing, i.e. to remove food residues or plaque between the interdental spaces. As not all interdental spaces are the same, these brushes come in different sizes. Unlike dental floss, which can only be used once, interdental brushes are reusable.
