PRODUCT NEWS
Intention: prevention
More than a third of British adults
now choose interdental brushes to
clean in between their teeth rather
than floss,1 so the products play a vital
role in optimising gingival health and
preventing oral disease.2
The FLEXI interdental brush range
from TANDEX is specifically designed
to access interdental spaces and along
the gingival margin. Their flexible
grips enable patients to reach even
difficult-to-access spaces at the back of
the mouth.
The colour-coded brushes can be
used to apply PREVENT GEL too,
a product which contains 0.12%
chlorhexidine and 900 ppm fluoride
known for their antibacterial and
enamel strengthening properties.
To find out how the FLEXI range
and PREVENT GEL can boost your
patients’ interdental cleaning visit the
