See koostisosa võib mõnele inimesele vastumeelne olla, kuid selle tõhususe üle ei saa vaielda. Seepärast ütlemegi, et vali hambapasta, mis sisaldab fluoriidi. See mikroelement on tõestanud oma efektiivsust hambaaukude ennetamisel. See muudab su hambad hapetele vastupidavamaks ja takistab hambakatu bakterite levikut. 

Kui palju fluoriidi peaks hambapasta sisaldama?

Üldiselt on fluoriidisisaldus iga hambapasta pakendil märgitud ühikuga ppm (miljondik). Täiskasvanutel soovitavad hambaarstid kasutada hambapastat, mis sisaldab vähemalt 1000 ppm fluoriidi. Väiksemate laste puhul oleks parim valida laste hambapasta. Kõik meie hambapastad sisaldavad eakohast kogust fluoriidi, välja arvatud kaks erandit: Enzycal zero ja üks laste hambapasta.

Brushing our teeth with toothpaste has become a mundane part of our life for most of us. But toothpaste is, indeed, an additive rather than an unavoidable step in our daily oral hygiene routine. But there are certain situations when using toothpaste can be very helpful. Our toothpastes contain vital ingredients called fluoride, enzymes, and valuable herbal ingredients that strengthen your tooth enamel, remineralise the teeth, boost the natural power of saliva, prevent cavities, and—depending on the type of toothpaste—can also assist in removing extrinsic teeth stains.

Yes. All our toothpastes work wonderfully with both manual and electric toothbrushes. As they do not contain SLS, they do not foam that much. This means there is no foam that could cover the view of the teeth or hinder the mechanical cleaning process and the hydrodynamic effect.

Yeah, you read that right. This is one of the surprising varieties of our fabulous Be you toothpaste— in an alcohol-free version, of course. But there’s more. Six extraordinary flavours, including Apple and Aloe Vera or Blackberry & Liquorice. Discover the world of toothpastes beyond boring mint flavour. 

Most people need more than one brush size as interdental spaces normally are not the same size. You may need two or three sizes to clean all your interdental spaces properly. As Curaprox provides the only calibrating system in the market, dental professionals can easily help you finding the proper size for every space. We offer interdental brushes in various sizes and dimensions that address every need and space. If you are unsure about the proper sizes, don’t hesitate to ask the dentist of your trust which brushes are best for cleaning between teeth. If you want to give interdentals a try by yourself, opt for the CPS prime Mixed Start Set which includes all sizes.

If you use interdental brushes for the first time, it might be scary. But with the right size and the proper brushing technique, they are safe to use. And you will certainly feel the difference of a gentle and thorough clean. Curaprox interdental brushes are made with super-soft bristles and a flexible wire core that won't cause any damage to your gums. However, if you use interdental brushes that are too large or have very stiff bristles or a totally rigid core, there is a risk of damage. This means that the bristles can hurt your gums, and the wire can scratch your teeth and damage the enamel.

Yes, daily use of interdentals should be a normal part of your oral care routine. It is best to use them in the evening, before hitting bed. Thanks to a between teeth brush, you go to bed with completely clean teeth and bacteria have less chance of building up colonies overnight, secreting harmful acids, and damaging your teeth or causing gum inflammation. However, the optimal timing for interdental cleaning should be decided together with your dental professional, based on your oral condition and individual needs.

Yes, that’s possible. We developed an environmentally friendly click system. With just one twist, you can replace the worn brush head of your interdental brush. Keep the handle, it can be reused many, many times. The interdental brushes refill packages are also made from recycled material—good for your teeth and our planet.

Interdental brushes do a really good job. Why? Their flexible bristles span between your teeth like a tiny umbrella and clean every nook and cranny. With a common dental floss brush, you can never reach these crevices, as the floss stretches across them and can’t reach all bacteria and plaque. But there are a few exceptions when floss is required to use: if you have extremely narrow gaps and interdentals won’t fit in, only flossing can clean your interdental spaces. Use it to complement your thorough cleaning on those specific spots as needed.

Soft bristles have the clear advantage that they can individually embrace each tooth and clean it thoroughly. This allows them to reach areas that a hard toothbrush with rigid bristles can neither reach nor clean. In addition, our soft Curen® bristles are rounded at the top, protect the sensitive gums and do not scratch the enamel. With a soft toothbrush, there is no risk of damage or injury when brushing. 

Which toothbrush is better? With the proper handling and technique, both a manual and an electric toothbrush can effectively clean teeth. It is your personal preference, then. With an electric toothbrush less physical effort is required, a good thing—especially for those with limited dexterity, braces, or specific dental conditions as it comes equipped with a motor that provide powerful brushing. Manual toothbrushes on the other hand, are a classic choice, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and bristle types so that they accommodate varied demands.

It is recommended to brush your teeth twice a day using a toothbrush with soft bristles and a gentle fluoride toothpaste. Remember to use also interdental brushes once a day—preferable before going to bed—to clean the gaps between your teeth. However, define the frequency and timing of interdental cleaning in accordance with your dental professional, adapted to your oral situation and individual needs. As for the recommended brushing time of at least two minutes each time: it is highly individual and certainly should not be limited to a fixed 2-minute rule. Please keep in mind that what matters most is that every surface of each tooth is thoroughly clean, which can take you longer than two minutes. So, you better focus on quality, not just on time. 

Our short answer is: no. The surfaces of our teeth can be cleaned relatively easily and thoroughly with a soft, dense manual toothbrush. No matter which manual toothbrush you use, you can only clean 70% of your teeth's surfaces. For the rest—between your teeth— you'll need more specialised tools. That’s why we developed our fantastic interdental brushes with various sizes and colours for gaps with different dimensions. There’s perfect brush for every gap. If you have never used interdentals before, ask your dentist or dental hygienist. You can also get good advice at your local pharmacy.

Replace your manual toothbrush every three to four months, even sooner if the bristles look worn or frayed. Regular replacing ensures the toothbrush remains effective at removing plaque and prevents the buildup of bacteria. Frayed bristles become less effective at cleaning teeth and removing plaque. Also replace your brush after recovering from a cold or flu, as bacteria can linger on the bristles and accumulate, especially in the moist environment of a bathroom. This may lead to reinfection or other oral health issues.
