Maintaining your health involves more than just keeping your teeth and gums in good condition through proper brushing. Research indicates the implications of poor dental hygiene can be more extensive than you might imagine, particularly when it comes to heart health.
Dental experts have found that tooth decay, gum disease, and overall poor oral health can put a strain on your cardiovascular system, and maintaining good oral hygiene can lower your risk of heart-related issues. If interdental cleaning (cleaning between your teeth) isn't part of your routine, the Curaprox Superduo pack is a premium kit that includes an ultra-soft toothbrush and interdental brushes, products which experts say are crucial for a thorough clean.
The set is priced at £5.70. It provides everything you need for a comprehensive dental clean, with both the regular toothbrush and the interdental ones benefiting from Swiss engineering and Curaprox's long-standing reputation for excellence in toothbrushing.

The interdental brush, a thin bristle brush that you gently insert between your teeth to remove any unwanted residue or leftovers. Combined with regular brushing, this will help maintain healthy teeth and gums, reduce your risk of gum disease, and also aid in protecting your cardiovascular system.
"Increased daily toothbrushing frequency as well daily interdental cleaning is associated with reduced systemic inflammation, better health outcomes, and a lowered mortality risk" according to a study by Curaprox. "Cardiometabolic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and as such, provision of basic oral hygiene advice should be included in chronic disease prevention programmes," reports the Mirror.
Food, sugars, acids, bacteria and plaque can accumulate between your teeth, and your regular toothbrush may struggle to reach these problem areas.
Even the most thorough brushing can miss something. Curaprox suggests that 70% of the cleaning will be done by the toothbrush, with its soft bristles minimising any damage to gums, an ergonomic octagonal handle reaching every tooth, and an angled head ensuring no area is missed.
The remaining 30% is accomplished by the easy-to-use interdental brushes, whose own soft filaments protect your gums while breaking apart and removing plaque between your teeth. If you've never used an interdental brush before, don't worry: it's straightforward.
Simply push the brush gently between your teeth, then pull it out gently, and move onto the next gap. It's as simple as that.
This process is made even easier by Curaprox's commitment to advanced and innovative toothbrush design, focusing on exceptional cleaning with minimal fuss or effort from the user.
The Curaprox 5460 toothbrush has won over customers on Amazon, securing a high rating of 4.8 out of 5 from more than 22,000 reviews. One satisfied user stated: "My dentist recommended this toothbrush, and it works perfectly well," and continued with praise for its gentleness, saying, "The bristles are very soft, which is good if you have sensitive gums."
Another avid fan commented: "Curaprox toothbrushes are wonderful," explaining their long-term satisfaction by revealing, "I have been using them for about four years. They are gentle with small heads so you can reach all of your back teeth."
Nonetheless, some users noted a potential shortcoming regarding the durability of the soft bristles, with one customer mentioning: "In my experience the brushes wore down after a month of use and turn into a general manual toothbrush with a larger brush surface."
although this is generally expected within the lifespan of such a product.
Adding to the accolades, another person shared their post-dental surgery experience, stating: "Just had full mouth implants. These are the brushes my dental surgeon recommended. He was right. So soft. Smooth but effective at cleaning my teeth and below the gumline."
