Clean in-between your teeth and #AceThatSpace with Sunstar GUM

Research indicates that only about a third of South Africans floss or clean in-between their teeth regularly. Dental experts say you need to clean between your teeth every day. Well, that’s only if you want to keep your pearly whites, well… pearly white. Or if you want to keep them, full stop. This counts for kids as well. As soon as permanent teeth start to touch, it’s important to start cleaning in-between.

Not convinced? Floss and take a whiff. If that floss has an unpleasant (read: gross) odour, it means that there’s some nasty bacteria trapped between your teeth that will cause all sorts of dental problems. And bad breath.

It’s National Oral Health Month and Sunstar GUM is on a mission to help you ‘ace that space’ and effectively clean in-between your teeth for a healthier mouth.

 

Sunstar GUM has an interdental tool for everyone, to make cleaning in-between a breeze, even if your gaps are small, you don’t have time, or you wear orthodontic braces. Have a look:

Sunstar GUM Ace That Space

GUM Bi-Direction interdental brushes are the only interdental with a bendable head, allowing you to use it in two different positions and comfortably reach even the trickiest parts of your mouth. With the rounded tip to protect the gums and ergonomically designed rubber handle, it’s comfortable and easy to use. The tapered, triangular bristles are coated with anti-bacterial chlorhexidine for super hygiene and shown to remove 25% more plaque. Available in 3 sizes, GUM Bi-Direction interdental brushes are ideal for cleaning wide gaps between the teeth, food traps, around orthodontic braces, bridges and implants. R107

Sunstar GUM Soft-Picks Advanced, the only curved dental picks on the market, are available in small, regular and large with a size for every smile and ideal for cleaning narrow or wide interdental spaces. Curved to follow the natural shape of the jaw, the innovative shape makes it easy to reach between each tooth – even those at the far back of the mouth. The soft rubber bristles gently dislodge food and plaque, whilst giving the gums a gentle micro-massage. GUM Soft-Picks Advanced are ideal for cleaning orthodontics, bridges and implants, they are safe to use, even for those with sensitive gums. Comes with a handy travel case.  R105

Designed to make between-teeth cleaning simple, fast, and effective, GUM Easy Flossers have an easy to grip handle with shred-resistant floss held at an ideal tension. Ideal for children and people who find it difficult to manage floss with their fingers. Comes with a handy travel case for on-the-go use. R65

If you have small gaps between the teeth, sensitive or receding gums, Gum Expanding Floss is ideal. GUM Expanding Floss is thin and easy to insert between teeth then cleverly expands for a more effective clean around the tooth and below the gum line. Easy to insert and provides an exceptional clean. R70

Plaque is virtually invisible and not easy to spot. GUM Red-Cote Disclosing Tablets make it easy to find plaque and which areas of your mouth need more brushing or flossing! Simply chew one of these tasty, cherry-flavoured tablets for 30 seconds after your usual oral care routine, without swallowing. It will turn plaque red, so you can brush or floss again until the teeth are completely clean. Recommended by dental professionals to help children learn to brush and clean between the teeth effectively, and for adults who want to check how well their oral care is working. R65

It’s national Fresh Breath Week and IVOhealth’s oral hygiene expert Dirna Grobbelaar shares top tips to give you the confidence you need to show of your pearly whites. Also stick around for details on how you can win a smile makeover worth R5 000 (a prize I would love to win!) and a fresh breath giveaway of our own.

About 80 to 90% of bad breath comes from poor oral hygiene. “Brushing correctly, cleaning the tongue and interdental cleaning are key for fresh breath confidence that comes from a super-clean mouth,” says Grobbelaar. When plaque and food debris break down in the mouth they release foul odours, cause irritation and disease. An effective daily oral care routine should remove this bacteria from the teeth, gums and tongue.

Brushing seems elementary but not everyone does it right. “Brushing correctly means two minutes, twice a day. Use a soft brush and fluoride toothpaste and slightly angle the brush to reach just under the gum line as well as the tooth surface.”

Over a third of South Africans admit they never floss. “The mouth isn’t clean until it’s clean in-between,” says Grobbelaar. ”If floss is not your style choose an alternative. Sunstar GUM has the widest range of interdental tools in South Africa, with everything from tiny brushes and floss handles to high-tech toothpicks with built-in fluoride.”

The tongue can be another hiding place for the baddies that cause bad breath. Gently scrape the tongue on a daily basis then gargle with alcohol-free mouthwash for extra fresh-breath confidence.

Grobbelaar recommends a professional cleaning with your oral hygienist every six months and an annual check-up with the dentist.
