Don't abuse of toothpick 
 
 
China's traditional Chinese medicine to 

        In life, most people use a toothpick is not scientific. In fact, the use of toothpicks also should pay attention to the scientific method, the method is proper, can not only help eliminate embedded food residue in the teeth, still can remove plaque on the surface of the adjacent teeth, prevention of dental caries and periodontal disease; Method is undeserved, can damage gums mucosa, gum nipples, leads to gingival papilla inflammation, gingival recession, tooth clearance increases and lead to periodontal disease. 
 
        First of all, don't abuse of toothpicks. Toothpick is generally in gingival papilla atrophy, tooth clearance larger use, with a toothpick tip can pass between teeth. If the periodontal health, the gaps between the teeth is lesser, have teeth between nipple covers, must not use a toothpick to enter, otherwise will not only damage your gums, also can form between teeth, fulfilled "the greater the stuck between the teeth", difficulties at the same time also make clean, form a vicious circle. 
 
        Second, toothpicks to correctly use. Should with 45 degree Angle into the tooth clearance, tip pointing in the direction occlusal surface, and makes the toothpick lateral contact between teeth gingival papilla, and then use a toothpick lateral margin of scrape tooth surface, never insert vertical force, the more not to gum direction, otherwise it will damage your gums. Food residue after eliminating clean, also remember gargle. 
 
        Again, use toothpick is more suitable for the elderly. Because the elderly receding gums, root exposure, the tooth clearance is big, easy to use, and the effect is good, for the young people, the tooth clearance is small, periodontal, gums and no shrink phenomenon, in order to prevent the tooth clearance is too large, it is best to use dental floss to clean. 
 
        Although on the surface, after a meal in a timely manner with the contents of the plug in the teeth out with a toothpick is a good thing, but the teeth is not an option for a long time. 
 
        The end of the toothpick is sharp, stab easily when they are teeth, gums bleeding, long-term stimulation can also make the gum atrophy. Tooth clearance is generally small, at ordinary times food is not too easy to plug into, if often use a sharp toothpick in his teeth tong tong, even if the method is correct, but long-term, artificial mechanical stimulation will make teeth increases, and even affect the stability of the teeth. Concerned expert points out, use a toothpick at the table more harm than good for a long time, remove food residue advocate gargle brush your teeth after meals. (Guo Qingwei)
