When people eat, a small amount of fibrous food (such as leeks, lean meat, etc.) often gets stuck in the teeth, which is very uncomfortable and harmful to teeth. It should be removed in time. Many people like to pick their teeth with toothpicks, but this is not a good habit. As the saying goes, "If you don't pick your teeth, they won't be sparse." People who often pick their teeth are prone to gum atrophy and tooth root exposure. It is easy to damage the gums when using toothpicks, causing local damage. Over time, the gums are prone to atrophy, the gaps between teeth are getting bigger and bigger, and the food is getting heavier, forming a vicious circle. In addition, the quality of toothpicks on the market varies greatly. The hygiene of toothpicks drawn from the public toothpick holder in restaurants is very worrying, and the bacterial content on the surface is often seriously exceeded. Some people even use small wooden sticks or iron wires instead of toothpicks, which is not only unclean, but also more likely to damage the gums. It is reported that there have been cases of tetanus caused by picking teeth with unclean brooms and bamboo branches, which cannot but arouse people's vigilance. As the saying goes, "The wise learn lessons from the blood of others, and the foolish create lessons with their own blood." Therefore, even if you use toothpicks to pick your teeth, you should choose products from regular manufacturers with good packaging, factory name, address, health license, and strict disinfection, and you must use them correctly.
