How to Use Toothpicks

How to use toothpicks
Many people have the habit of picking their teeth after meals. In fact, neatly arranged healthy teeth are generally not easy to impact food. Frequent use of bad toothpicks or improper use of toothpicks can also damage the teeth and gums, causing receding gums, exposed roots, widening between teeth, and causing oral bacteria. Infect. The wider the gap between the teeth, the easier it is for food residues to enter, forming a vicious circle, that is, as the saying goes, "the teeth are thinner and thinner." We believe that as long as it is used correctly and at the right time, flossing is beneficial and harmless.
Try not to flick your teeth in public. When you need to floss your teeth, you should prepare a piece of paper first, and then cover your mouth with your other hand. Do not watch or re-enter what you have picked out in public, and do not play or throw up casually. Be prepared before applying flossing. Wrap the paper towels and throw them into the trash can or next to the dining table. After picking your teeth, do not hold toothpicks, let alone use them to pick up food.
The specific method for correct flossing is: slowly insert the toothpick along the tooth surface into the bottom of the gingival sulcus, and then gently push out the food residue to the tongue. The action must be gentle to avoid damaging the periodontal tissue. It is best to rinse your mouth 15-20 minutes after eating and drinking. When rinsing, after closing the mouth, use a certain amount of force to agitate the cheeks to make the mouthwash flow back and forth through the teeth to flush out food residues and other attachments out of the impacted area. If you can’t wash out the food residues stuck in the teeth, you can use a toothbrush, or use a handkerchief or towel to gently rub against the food-impacted parts to encourage the food wastes to escape from the impacted parts. It can promote the metabolism of teeth and related tissues, and has the effect of strengthening teeth and gums.

3. Slowly slide along the two tooth surfaces of each tooth. Do not use too fast or too much force. The side of the toothpick is close to the tooth surface and scraped several times. Finally, rinse your mouth once a day or after each meal.
4. Toothpicks are a must-have for middle-aged and elderly people, but if used improperly, it will cause gingivitis. Toothpicks are best used when there is a gap between the teeth. If the gingival papilla is normal, the toothpicks are only used on the gums. In the sulcus, because this will cause gaps between the teeth that have no gaps, the food is more likely to be impacted, and then use a toothpick to pick it up. Over time, it becomes a vicious circle, which causes the gap between the teeth and the gingival papilla to shrink, causing both periodontal disease and Affects appearance and function.
5. Use the correct method. Some people are eager to get rid of their teeth after stuffing them, picking whatever they want, such as knives, matchsticks, tacks, hairpins, etc., causing more serious tooth stuffing.
