> interdental toothbrushes. If you’re not using them already, you may want to start. Very helpful. Much better than flossing

Interdental brushes are IN ADDITION to, not instead of flossing.

Interdental brushes, by definition, cannot get down to the gumline gap between tooth and gum. Something which ONLY correct flossing can do.

Ask your hygienist next time you see them.
