My husband uses toothpicks all the time. Is this bad for his teeth?
Q: My husband uses toothpicks all the time. Is this bad for his teeth?
A: There are several different types of toothpicks available:
- The old-fashioned, rounded wooden toothpicks available at your corner restaurant
- Thin plastic rotadent toothpicks from your dentist
- Wedge-shaped stimudent toothpicks available at your drugstore
The rounded toothpicks are the most likely to do damage. Not because of their design, but because they don’t come with any instructions.
