Can I use the TePe Bridge & Implant Floss with braces?
The TePe Bridge & Implant Floss is designed for implants and bridges. You may want to consult your orthodontist for the best floss for braces.
What should I do if my gums become inflamed?
If you experience any inflammation, bleeding, or discomfort, consult your dentist or dental hygienist immediately.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty reaching certain areas with the brush.
Use the TePe Compact Tuft brush or the TePe Universal Care brush, which is specifically designed for hard-to-reach areas. Change the angle of approach to ensure optimal cleaning.
Floss is getting stuck or tearing.
Ensure you are using the TePe Bridge & Implant Floss correctly. Gently guide the floss between the teeth and around the implant, using a sawing motion. If the floss continues to tear, consult your dentist for advice.
Gums bleed after brushing or flossing.
It's normal for gums to bleed slightly when starting to use the kit. However, if bleeding persists, use the extra soft interdental brushes and consult your dentist.
