ARE TOOTHPICKS BAD FOR MY TEETH?

Toothpicks are not recommended as a way to clean in between your teeth anymore as they can damage the gums and if used frequently, can damage the enamel and wear away the roots of the teeth. They can also break and dislodge under the gum, which can be very painful.

At Terrigal Dental, we recommend using interdental cleaning brushes or floss instead for a more thorough clean that doesn’t harm your teeth and gums!
