Piksters are Australia's no 1 interdental brush and are made of stronger, stiffer wire which resists buckling and bending. Interdental brushes are like mini toothbrushes that get into the tiny spaces between teeth and clean effectively right down to the gum line. They are excellent for around the back teeth because they can get into areas your toothbrush and floss cannot reach. Piksters last longer, are better quality and offer better value (significantly less expensive per brush than many other brands). Extra durable PA612 bristles deliver superior cleaning ability, the quality nylon bristles compress on insertion and spring open on withdrawal. Every brush has a cap which acts as a handle extension. The cap also allows the brush to dry between uses and keeps the bristles clean. The slim compact handle allows the user to rotate the brush on insertion, resulting in an easy efficient cleaning action.
