Dip is the third Peridontist I have seen, but the first one to offer a truly personalised care plan.
The attention to detail in providing specific recommendations on the individual interdental brushes I require, guidance on how to use them and ensuring I was doing this all correctly before I left an appointment meant I was empowered to continue at home following his advice correctly.
I’m 100% sure this is why my gum health is now stable.

I have used interdental brushes in the past, however, The Teeth keeper interdental brushes are far superior. The different size brush heads easily attach to an aluminium handle, which has a far greater reach than a standard interdental brush, so much easier to reach the back teeth!
The brush head bristles are compact and soft, and find they capture more debris and plaque compared to other brushes I have used. The brushes don’t seem to bend out of shape easily.
I find The Teeth Keeper system an innovative and highly effective way to clean interdentally. The sleek and professional design is very stylish; it looks great in the bathroom!

I had one implant and was not given any advice on aftercare and continued to use my electric toothbrush and flossed. Dr Dip Malde did my second implant and noticed bleeding from the first implant.
Dr Dip Malde gave me specific advice about keeping both implants clean. I now use correctly sized interdental brushes as well as the single tuft brush for the implants and my teeth, which has stopped the bleeding. I feel confident in avoiding infection and loss of my implants.
It was a simple change in my dental routine and I have suggested it to my family for general dental hygiene.

I have used interdental brushes in the past fairly consistently, however, after seeing Dr Dip my eyes were opened up on how to use them more effectively, and I was given a clear plan, including a diagram with details of which sizes to use in each specific area. This felt very individual to me and over time I saw and felt clear results. Less bleeding, less sensitivity and less swelling of the gums.
For the first time I was also told about the importance of thoroughly cleaning the gum line using single tuft brushes. I could see for myself when shown by Dr Dip the plaque build up on the gum line, which could easily be brushed away by using the single tuft brushes with the correct technique.
What shocked me is the information I was being provided I had never been told before, and I have regularly gone to dentist and hygienist for years. I just wish I had known about this years ago. I think this information is important to be shared as I’m sure it could help lots of other people, the same way it’s helped me.

Like many others, I thought the regular use of an electric toothbrush, occasional use of an interdental brush and regular visits to the dentists are all I needed to maintain good gum health.
However, I was diagnosed with bone loss due to gum disease and referred for periodontal treatment. After being tutored on the importance of using correctly sized interdental brushes, my gums no longer bleed and are much healthier.
I wish I would have been more diligent with the use of interdental brushes many years ago. But now with regular thorough cleaning at home I am confident my situation will remain stable.

I had the privilege of working alongside Dr Dip Malde. Whilst shadowing Dip I was encouraged to get my patients to use larger, tight fitting interdental brushes.
My patients soon got used to the larger sizes and found that whilst initially uncomfortable, the larger brushes became more comfortable over time.
I can now say the results I am getting from my patients is brilliant.

Dip joined our practice 2 years ago. Since then we take an individually tailored approach towards managing periodontal referrals. We now focus on developing a bespoke oral care plan, a large component of this being the sizing and demonstration of the interdental and single tuft brushes.
It has taken some time for patients to adjust to this new approach. Once patients have come on board with this new approach, we have noticed improved patient compliance with oral hygiene measures, clinical periodontal outcomes and provided more value to our patients. The clear visual improvement in periodontal health has increased patient acceptance and satisfaction.
Another advantage of adapting a bespoke oral care approach has been a significant increase in interdental and single tuft brush sales.

I had rather let my teeth look after them selves for years. I decided to do something to rectify the situation and after a wake up call from my dentist and a professional clean, things began to improve.
The teeth looked better and one seemed less loose. I started to use an electric tooth brush which made a difference to the cleanliness. However it was the use of interdental brushes and the single tuft brush that I could see were cleaning where a normal brush could not reach. It took no time at all to get the hang of how to use them.
I wish I had learnt earlier to clean my teeth properly. I would certainly recommend every one to use interdental and single tuft brushes. They make such a difference.

About 18 months ago I was referred by my dentist to see Dip about my gums which were showing signs of gum disease and I needed treatment to improve the condition.
A big part of the treatment involved intensive teeth cleaning and a complete overall of my dental cleaning regime. I was given a detailed plan on how to properly clean my teeth using interdental and soft tuft brushes.
This is now part of my daily dental cleaning routine and my gum health has vastly improved mostly due to the use of these brushes. I am now on an annual check for my gum health due to the improvement.

The interdental brush is lightweight but feels sturdy with a great grip and perfect length for access. The angle on the interdental handle makes it much easier to access hard to reach areas of the mouth.
The plastic waste reduction compared with traditional interdental brushes is the biggest bonus. Not only is this an efficient, well designed and well made brush, but also it is far better for the planet.
I will definitely be recommending this to my patients.

I have had the pleasure of referring my patients to Dr. Dip Malde for the management of their gum disease, and I cannot express enough how impactful his care has been.
Patients have reported noticeable improvements in their gum health under his guidance, which can be attributed to his thorough assessments and personalised treatment plans.
Dip takes the time to educate patients about proper oral hygiene practices, ensuring they understand how to maintain their progress effectively.
The feedback from my patients has been positive, highlighting not just the improvement in their gum disease but also an overall enhancement in their confidence regarding their oral health.
O Selvarajah, Dental Hygienist
I’ve always cleaned my teeth twice a day but what I didn’t realise was the technique I was using along with the flossing tape wasn’t effective enough.
I now have a different electric toothbrush and I use interdental brushes and a single tuft brush daily. The interdental brushes are easy to use and I now know the different sizes I need for an effective full clean. I use the single tuft brush once a day to gently go over my gum line ensuring a perfect oral care routine.
I’ve noticed a huge difference in my gums which has been confirmed also by my dentist and hygienist. If you too would like healthy gums I would highly recommend the daily use of interdental brushes and the single tuft brush.
