TePe Compact Tuft Toothbrush Product Review
December 28, 2011
Like many people, I have hard to reach surfaces in my mouth, such as my wisdom teeth or a few less straight teeth. Regardless of the location, these teeth must be maintained and cleaned like any other surface. It is very difficult to reach these areas with a regular
toothbrush and luckily the hygienist can provide an excellent cleaning but what can you do at home? These teeth are prone to decay and it is important to keep them clean just like the rest of your teeth.
The
TePe Compact Tuft Toothbrush was a very useful toothbrush to reach my wisdom teeth and hard to reach teeth. The compact bristles on the head, provided a direct and strong brush for those hard to reach places. I immediately was able to feel the difference with the removed surface plaque. I am sure that the dental hygienist will notice the difference compared to not using any brush at all. I prefer the TePe compact tuft toothbrush compared to other brands because of the tough bristles. Just a simple swab and you can feel the difference. I can also use this toothbrush for the small spaces in between my teeth and receive a thorough cleaning. I could even use this product on kids and small children. With the small brush head, it can easily clean the small teeth of children. Great product, along with the other wonderful TePe products!
