Say no to toothpicks !

Why Toothpicks should not be used to remove food stuck between teeth?

• Frequent toothpick use can wear out tooth enamel and create gaps in dental fillings if used harshly.
• They can damage gums and even cause infections

What to use instead of toothpicks?

• Dental floss (safer and more effective method)
• Oral irrigator (uses a high-pressure water stream to dislodge food and other particles)
• Interdental brushes
