DenTek Easy Brush Cleaners — 

To the Point

I have so many dental products I really didn't know where to start. I decided to start with my most recent purchase - DenTek Easy Brush Cleaners, which I like a lot.

A Closer View

I have had gum surgery on 3 areas because of pockets. Pockets are spaces between the gums and the teeth. You don't want space. A lot of space can cause your tooth to fall out! So when my pockets get too large I have surgery. My gum surgeon has recommended a variety of tools for me to use. Brushes like these were highly recommended.

For about $3.00 I got a pack of what can be called a travel pack of eight brushes. Each brush should be rinsed after use and replaced when the bristles get worn. I find I usually replace mine in a week or so. There are less expensive options which I have and have used but I bought the DenTek for my current trip to Florida.

The package makes it seem that these are "flossing made easy." I'm not sure my gum surgeon or dentist would want me to replace these with flossing so I do both.

The package itself has a non-glass mirror so you can watch yourself "floss." I find that even after I floss I can get debris out with the DenTek Easy Brush Cleaners. The cleaners come in different colors so they are just kind of cute to use. They are less than 2 ½ inches long so you can easily throw them in your bag or pocket. Because of my surgery I have spaces where food gets caught. It's really annoying. I have other similar utensils right now in my bag but I usually carry a DenTek with me as well

The handle is flexible so I can really get into the spaces without being afraid the handle will break. Each one has a plastic cover to keep it clean. The brush is a nice width. Some are very fine and some are so thick they won't get in between my teeth. These are just right.

Hey Jo, your review was almost in time for the end of National Dental Health month! I hope all is going well for you. Excellent information in this review.

I inherited it from my Dad, I had it beat for years until the truck accident in 94. I didn't break any bones but it knocked out 26 teeth, now no more gum issues. Even though it was tough to control I wish I still had it too fight ;( Good luck in your quest to beat it or at least have it under control ;) Ron

That is so true! I've had gum issues since I've been 15. I only started listening about 10 years ago! Jo
