Product overview
About TePe Interdental Brushes (0.5mm, Red)
TePe Originals are the interdental brushes dental hygienists actually hand out — made in Sweden, sized precisely by ISO standard. This is size 2 (red, 0.5mm wire): the popular small-gap size for cleaning between teeth where most plaque, gum disease and bad breath begin. 6 brushes per pack.
Why interdental beats floss for most people
A brush fills the gap and sweeps it clean in one pass — easier to handle than floss, more effective in anything but the tightest contacts, and gentle on gums. Hygienists' consistent experience: patients actually keep using brushes, which is the metric that matters.
How to use
Once daily before brushing: insert gently at gum level, work back and forth a few times per gap, rinse the brush as you go. A little bleeding at first is common with neglected gaps and settles within days — bleeding that persists past a fortnight means see your dentist. Each brush lasts about a week.
Getting the size right
Gaps vary across your own mouth — many people need two sizes. Red 0.5mm suits smaller gaps; if it slides loose, size up; if it won't go without force, size down. Never force a brush.

Frequently asked questions
Which TePe size do I need?
The one that fills each gap snugly without forcing — many mouths need two sizes. Red 0.5mm is the popular small-gap size; your hygienist can size you in one visit.
My gums bleed when I use them — stop?
Keep going gently — early bleeding usually means the gums are inflamed from not being cleaned there, and settles within a couple of weeks. Persistent bleeding: see your dentist.
Brushes or floss?
For most gaps, brushes clean better and people stick with them. Floss keeps the very tightest contacts where no brush fits.
How long does each brush last?
About a week of daily use — replace when the bristles wear or the wire kinks.
