2.  ladygam (362) | 3 years ago |  Dental floss would be better because they're soft and cleans in between teeth. Toothpicks can cause tooth gaps and they can't really clean, do they?

| ladygam (362) | 3 years ago | Really? Try asking your sales clerk at the department store or grocery, I'm sure they have that there. I bet you're curious. It's just a piece of string really, hehe. | |

| smakineni (21) | 3 years ago |  I use toothpick although many dentists asked me to do flossing.Floss is not always available,even if so it's very
difficult in flossing.Floss may look smoother,but the force it generates on the gum after passing the contact between teeth,it literally damages the gums.I have tried various kinds of flosses only to see my gums bleed and sore after flossing

| 3. simplytraffic (1624) | 3 years ago |  Dental floss is better than toothpicks which can damage your gums. There are such things as "plastic/theraputic toothpicks" that can be heathy for your teeth. I use dental floss about three times a week.

| engineous (343) | 3 years ago | Thanks for the link. But can dental floss still damage your gums, because you put it in and out of your mouth? Apparently a friend and a dentist re-iterated your point; but, you have to use it more often than daily. | |

6.  Deane_2005 (1424) | 3 years ago |  I would used dental floss than toothpick. It is very hygienic and is very safe. Toothpick can cause plaque accumulation and infection if used all the time.Dental floss can remove debri even in interstitial spaces and it removes plaque that causes tartar in our teeth.

8.  ronaldinu (7779) | 3 years ago |  Tooth pics are not very adequate to clean your teeth. Even dental floss should be used with extreme care and not regularly.

| 10. DesignDiva (263) | 3 years ago | I just went to the dentist and got an hour long lecture on how the point of flossing isn't only to get between your teeth, you're supposed to go under the gums too. Apparently gum disease can cause lots of problems--even increase your risk of certain cancers.
A toothpick might help get something out if it's stuck between your teeth. But other than making you look like a hick, it won't help you too much. Save your teeth and floss!! | |
