Rating of the best toothpicks for 2022

Due to the peculiarity of the structure of the dentition, food tends to get stuck in the cracks. At home, you can get rid of leftover food in various ways. For example, use a toothbrush or floss. But when a person has lunch in a public place or at work, it is not always possible to use oral care products. In this case, toothpicks come to the rescue. They are widely distributed in catering establishments, and some use them at home. Attention is offered a list of the most popular toothpick models for 2022 with their pros and cons.

Product classification - toothpick selection criteria

In public catering, as a rule, they offer one version of the product that best fits into the concept of the institution. But for home use, you can find sticks that are suitable for your teeth, since the degree of sensitivity for each is individual. How to choose the right product that will not harm the gums and enamel is the main question of every consumer. In this regard, you need to have information about what toothpicks are.

Types of sticks for teeth - product features

It is customary to classify the assortment of this category according to several criteria: the raw materials used, taste preferences, and design. As for the material from which the sticks are made, they include: wood, bamboo, plastic.

Wooden toothpicks, according to dentists, are considered the safest, compared to plastic (less sharp). However, they are able to leave splinters in soft tissues, which cannot be said about plastic. If this happens, you should not panic: under the influence of saliva / water, the wood will swell and soften, and when rinsed, it will wash out without causing severe injury to the gums.

Plastic sticks are convenient to use for cleaning the bridge, although it is better not to resort to them at all, but to install implants that completely restore the tooth.But due to the high prices for such a procedure, not everyone can afford this luxury.

Bamboo is considered the best choice for toothpick lovers, as it is absolutely smooth, softer than wood in composition, and therefore safer for gums.

As for fragrances. Many manufacturers impregnate sticks. When used, it freshens the breath. Depending on taste preferences, the buyer makes a choice in favor of the most suitable option. For example, fruit is suitable for a child, nicotine for smokers, mint for fresh breath.

Interesting fact! Not so long ago, a limited series of goods was produced with the tastes of elite alcoholic beverages (whiskey, rum, cognac, martini), which gained popularity in narrow circles.

An important point: a toothpick can be disposable or reusable. The second option suggests that the stick is made with a brush at the end. It is made of a special rubberized material, which allows you to efficiently clean the remnants of food from the interdental spaces and not injure the gums. But the main advantage of such products is the absence of the risk of chipping. The brush provides additional cleaning of tooth enamel, which, with regular use, makes the enamel lighter.

The history of toothpicks - interesting information

As history shows, toothpicks were invented by Neanderthals. After examining the skulls of this population, deep grooves were found at the base of the crown, which were supposed to have been left after the use of objects for cleaning teeth from animal bones.

The book by Henry Petroski "Toothpick: Technology and Culture" describes the entire history of the creation and development of the product, its application features, contribution to culture, history, and military affairs.

Note! All information is presented on 450 pages, in small print.

A secondary hygiene item (as it is commonly believed) is mentioned in the Koran: prayer is dedicated to cleansing the oral cavity.

Many domestic and foreign writers have repeatedly mentioned this subject in their manuscripts. Such as, N.V. Gogol, M. de Cervantes, William Shakespeare.

It is interesting! Today, gold models with beautiful decor and design are produced in the USA, the cost of which starts from $100.

Modern toothpicks have found application in art (decorative, used to create souvenirs), everyday life - dishes on skewers.

Selection rules - what to look for when buying products

There are several criteria on which the cost of the goods will depend, which is important when purchasing it. As a person is greeted by the cover, so are toothpicks bought. Most people prefer beautiful packaging, so that in the future it would be convenient to use the purchase and not be ashamed to get it in front of friends / acquaintances.

Popular models of products for cleaning teeth are in individual packaging (each copy is in a film), which has obvious differences from plastic or glass containers, where the contents are only under a protective cover.

Note! The larger the diameter of the container in which the toothpicks are located, the greater their number (disposable models).

Budget options, in this case, are best considered in virtual stores. The popularity of models won Chinese goods.

On a note! Before ordering from AliExpress, read customer reviews.

In order not to make mistakes when choosing tooth sticks, read carefully the description of the product, contraindications and use. If one of the items does not meet your requirements, then it is better to look for other products.

It is impossible to answer the question of which company is the best product. The fact is that companies can specialize in different areas, and vice versa. Often, from one manufacturer, you can buy oral hygiene products for the whole family, and in some cases, you have to use different brands. Therefore, you need to choose a product based on the structural features of the dentition of each person.

Selection Tips:

1. After determining which product is better to buy, you need to compare the compositions of 2-3 toothpicks.
2. What class do they belong to: disposable or reusable.
3. Amount in a package.
4. price segment.
5. Where could I buy. It can be a pharmacy, any store or an order through an online platform.

Recommendations for the purchase of a hygiene product are different, but the choice always remains with the client.
