Everyone has interdental space

If you have two teeth next to one another, you have interdental space. That’s where bacteria build their colonies.

Which leaves the bacterial colonies between your teeth untouched, so they can breed and produce bacterial waste. This waste causes caries, gum inflammation and bad breath.
