Looking forward to trialing this product.. Can't wait till i receive. Thankyou BH x
Here's hoping it won't take long to get in the post over here in W.A. I can't believe I'm actually excited to try a oral hygiene product!
The postie has just been and I've got mine now, so I'll have a while to try them out before the reviews are due. The pack says they are small 1.5-3.5mm. So I presume they come in a large?. I wonder if we've all got the same size?.
They still look a bit big, some of the gaps between my teeth are big but some are thin, it's the really squashed together teeth that I want to clean the most because that seems to be where the toothbrush does'nt get in to clean enough.
I'll see how I go tonight when I brush my teeth.
Congratulations on your trial, Orchid27 and Lisa359. Hope you have great results.
Thank you for you kind reply Trish_D. Much appreciated
Congrats on being accepted for this trial, ladies xx
Happy for you that you've made the trial team, Lisa359 and Orchid27. I wonder how many other beauties will be trialling the product.
Hopefully they'll pop in and say hi.
Thankyou Onlyoni for you reply. Was very kind of you
Congratulations to all on this trial. I'm on this one too and no package as yet.
I’m on this trial! Mine has arrived today but I won’t get it until tomorrow. Looking forward to trying it out!
Congrats to who was selected! I haven't used this brand so keen to see what you all think!
Just as I suspected the brush is too big to get in between some of my teeth. It fits through most though. I thought my gums would bleed more - I could be a spooky bloodfilled vampire for Halloween - but nope, no more than I would get if I flossed.
Hi Lisa359,
Luvena from CareDent here. Thanks for sharing your experience with using InterBrush. Yes, you’re right - InterBrush is designed to gently clean the space between your teeth and gumline as well as gently massage your gums to keep them healthy. Sometimes you may experience a little bit of bleeding when using InterBrush or floss for the first few times if your gums are not used to the stimulation. However, this should lessen with continued use as your gums get healthier. If it continues, we recommend that you see your dentist.
InterBrush is designed to be used after regular brushing and flossing. The small size brushes should fit in the interdental space – this is the little triangle-shaped gap between your teeth where they meet your gums. I get the best results from just gently inserting the blue tip in and out of this gap and giving a little twist as I do. I repeat this a few times in each space as needed. You don’t need to force the whole of the blue tip through, just enough to gently dislodge any plaque or food that might still be left there and to give your gums a massage. Give that a try and let us know how it goes!
Thanks, I'll give that a try
I am on this trial too.
I got the small sizes brushes but they are way too big for the gaps between my terth. I can at most fit a tip of the brush only half way through from outside (and that's from pusing hard which I probably shouldn't be doong). There is no way to clean the gaps from the inside... i don't really "get" it. Flossing does a much better job ...
Yeah and trying to force them just makes the brushes weaker as well. I think they are aimed at looking after your gums - not teeth. I hoped they would clean my teeth.
Hi skincarejunkie,
Luvena from CareDent here. Thanks for posting your feedback on your first experience using InterBrush. I also find that the interdental space - that’s the little triangle-shaped gap between your teeth where they meet your gums - varies throughout my mouth. In some places I can fit more of the blue tip in the gap and in some places there’s a tighter gap and I can only fit a little part of the blue tip into the space. That’s OK! As long as you can feel the InterBrush gently rubbing and massaging your gums between the teeth then you know that it’s effectively cleaning the plaque from that area and massaging the gums to help to keep them healthy.
Don’t try and force the whole of the blue tip into the space. Only gently insert a comfortable amount of the blue tip in and out of the interdental space. Don’t worry about trying to insert the brush from behind your teeth, just doing it gently from the front will be enough.
Flossing is great for dislodging plaque and bits of food from between teeth and under the gumline. InterBrush won’t replace that but is great for also massaging your gums to keep them healthy and for cleaning off any remaining plaque left behind. InterBrush is also more convenient and less messy if you need to discreetly remove food stuck in the interdental space while you’re at work or on the go.
It's excellent to see response from Luvena from CareDent on this dedicated thread. Well done for the brand response to individual queries and/or concerns.
Hi CareDent
Thank you for your response!! I really appreciate this. With your response in mind I will try again.
Just one question, whenever I go to the dentist most of the plaque formed from behind the teeth rather than in front of the teeth. Is there anyway the CareDent brush can help reduce that?

Hey skincare junkie - I used to have that problem all the time with my bottom teeth. The only time it felt great was after the check and clean by the dentist. Since using this different toothpaste after the dentist clean, I've not had any problems with plaque on my teeth now.
You can only buy it at pharmacies, it costs about $10 and the tube is only small but it's not like regular toothpaste when you need a lot of it to clean your teeth. My tube lasts me just over 2 months. It is by Colgate and called NeutraFluor. The toothpaste is great for people like me that have high cavities all the time but it sure helped with the plaque. Although I think I mentioned somewhere the other day that since using this toothpaste, my whole teeth are free of cavities at my last check-up which is A+ for me.
That sounds really interesting jatz. Let me ask my dentist next time. I don't have cavities and I want to think that my teeth are rather strong, but my plaque is definitely bothering me everytime when it's close to due for a check and clean!
Hi skincare junkie,
Luvena from CareDent here again. InterBrush is designed to remove plaque from the interdental space (the small triangle-shaped gap between your teeth and gumline). If the plaque is predominantly forming on the back surface of your teeth it sounds like you might need to give this area a little bit of extra brushing attention every time you brush your teeth. Definitely mention your concerns to your dentist or hygienist next time you have your check up and see what they recommend.
To check how clean your teeth are really getting every time you complete your oral care routine, you might consider using CareDent disclosing tablets every few weeks. These are fruit flavoured tablets which you chew and then spit out and they leave a red stain on any plaque that is remaining on your teeth. You can then identify where you need to spend a little bit more time and attention to get those areas really clean.
Hope that helps!
Hi Luvena I’m not on the trial but you have my attention. The disclosing tablets, are they suitable to be used on children? I’d love to know every now and then that I’m cleaning my sons teeth properly.
Thanks
Congratulations on this trial ladies.....not 100% sure what they are but I am assuming that they are like the Piksters my dentist put me onto. She reckons they are like floss but easier but they do come in all different sizes for different types of gaps. I liked them but then got onto the water flosser which is much easier.
Interested to know how you go though.
