1、 The toothpick is best used when there is a gap between teeth. The toothpick enters at an angle of 45 degrees, with the tip facing the tooth surface of the bite, and the side edge contacting the gum in the gap. Then, use the side edge of the toothpick to scrape the tooth surface along the tooth surface, especially in the concave root surface and the bifurcation of the root, use the toothpick tip and side edge to scrape and polish the tooth surface. If there is food fiber impaction, do buccal lingual puncture to remove the food, and then rinse your mouth.
2、 To choose a toothpick that is hard in texture, not easy to break, smooth in surface, free of burr and oblate or triangular in cross section, it is better to buy the finished toothpick on the market. Pay attention to its cleanliness, and do not replace it with unclean wooden sticks, iron wires, pins or matchsticks.
3、 If the gingival papilla is normal, the toothpick can only be used in the gingival sulcus. You must not press the toothpick into the interdental papilla area forcefully, because it will form a gap between the teeth that do not have a gap, and food is more likely to be jammed. Then use the toothpick to pick it. Over time, it will become a vicious circle, which will increase the interdental space and shrink the gingival papilla, which will not only cause periodontal disease but also affect the beauty and function.
