GUM Soft-Picks Original Dental Picks 100 Count, BPA-Free Phthalate-Free

These are flexible enough not to cause damage, but firm enough to clean. In very tight spaces betwen teeth they may not go through, but waxed floss can work in these cases. At its most basic an advanced toothpick. At its more advanced use a well-designed and well-made extra tool for clean teeth. Don't fret if you bend a few while you get used to using them. I can not give an expert dental opinion but I personally use them as an adjunct to floss (not all the time together and sometimes apart from each other ) and feel good using them. Despite some negative publcity about flossing (and I would assume also these type of picks) ,my experienced dentist and dental hygienst strongly advise thorough cleaning with such tools along with careful and regular tooth brushing.
