It was a questionnaire based survey. Methodology: A set of 10 questions to assess knowledge, awareness and practice of usage of interdental aids was distributed among dental professionals. The data was collected and statistically evaluated using SPSS software. Results: Majority of the dental professionals are aware of the purpose of interdental cleaning among which 74.5% being MDS and 3.92% being BDS. Conclusion: Because of the minimal positive reaction to interdental aids among general dentists, educational campaigns offering information on various interdental aids should be conducted.
