Do you use toothpicks? Why your dentist does not approve...

Put down the toothpick - it can ruin your teeth. 

Toothpick use can become habit forming and you could be doing a lot more harm than good with them. Overuse can not only damage tooth enamel, bonding or veneers, they can cause injury to the gums and even wear away the roots of the teeth, especially in elderly pickers. If you’ve just got to groom your teeth on the go, skip the toothpick and pack the floss instead.
