How terrible is it to not floss? What happens when you can't floss on your own?
0:33 Toothpicks
The advantage of carrying them around is that they can easily sting the gums and cause injury and shrinkage to the flesh of the teeth, increasing the risk of larger gaps. In addition, toothpicks are pointed but do not penetrate deeply into the surface of the teeth, so they only help to remove food residue from the mouth after a meal and are not easily used to clean teeth.
0:55 Flossing sticks
The advantage of floss sticks is that they are portable, easy to use, and have a small piece of cotton thread to help remove stains from the surface of the teeth compared to toothpicks. If you want to use this small piece of floss to clean the entire mouth, there is a risk of bacterial cross-infection if you repeatedly use it.
1:08 Floss
Compared to the convenience of flossing sticks and toothpicks, flossing with rolls is more labor-intensive. However, because of its ability to fit snugly on the tooth surface (C-shaped) and the fact that it is not used repeatedly in the same position when properly replaced, it increases the chance of cross-contamination and repeated infections, and has a higher cleaning power.
1:22 How to use dental floss.
1. Pull a piece of floss about the same length as your arm.
2. Knot the ends together to make the floss a circle
3. Gently scrape the floss deeper into each crevice and between the teeth, one crevice has grooves on both sides of the flesh for deeper cleaning.
