Falt toothpicks, a simple and effective tool for dental hygiene, are excellent for cleaning between the teeth. In this category, you will find various types of toothpicks, including flat toothpicks made of plastic or wood in different sizes, with some featuring flour. The flour not only strengthens the teeth but also helps in preventing caries. Regular cleaning with toothpicks, especially flat ones, is important to remove bacterial deposits that accumulate throughout the day, which can lead to caries and gingivitis. When food residues are stuck between the teeth and are difficult to dislodge with a regular toothbrush, flat toothpicks can be particularly useful. These flat toothpicks often have a coarser tip than dental floss, making them suitable for adults with slightly larger gaps between their teeth.
For young people or adults with smaller gaps, dental floss is often the better choice. For those with larger gaps, gap brushes are useful, and choosing the right size is important. Flat toothpicks can also be a good option in these cases, especially for gentle cleaning. If you start to bleed when cleaning between your teeth, it often indicates inflamed gums, a sign that interstitial cleaning is needed. This usually improves over time. However, it's crucial to always be careful and gentle when cleaning between the teeth.
