If the brush head breaks and is lodged between your teeth, use one of the following methods to get it out.
- Firstly, ensure you tilt your head forward so that once the piece becomes loose it falls forward out of your mouth. Do not look upward into a mirror, breathe in, or aspirate the broken piece.
- Use a pair of tweezers to pull the broken piece out.
- Use another brush to push out the broken piece. You can insert it from the opposite direction to push it back towards the cheek, or if this fails, try pushing it all the way through if there is no blockage in front of it.. There are 12 sizes of Piksters. You may find a bigger size helps push out any broken head.
- Use a flexible toothpick to push out the broken piece.
- Use a piece of floss with 2 or 3 knots tied on top of each other to floss out the broken piece. The knot forms a lump that pushes out the obstacle. Try flossing such that the head comes out the way it went in.
If you cannot remove the piece, contact your dentist or hygienist.
In the unlikely event that you swallow a brush head, do not be concerned as it will almost certainly pass straight through you without any issues.
However, if you have any symptoms or concerns contact your doctor.

Please note:
- All interdental brushes, toothpicks and sticks can put pressure on the tip of the gum, especially if you apply too much force or use a brush that is too big for the space.
- This can cause a slight re-shaping/ bluntening of the gum over time.
- This is not a health or functional issue, but to minimize this, use small Piksters brush sizes (with a gentle action) for cosmetic areas such as the front teeth, and larger sizes for the back teeth.
- Alternatively, use floss or SupaGRIP floss picks for cosmetically sensitive areas.
