Rating of the best toothpicks for 2024

Due to the peculiarity of the structure of the dentition, food tends to get stuck in the crevices. At home, you can get rid of food leftovers using various methods. For example, use a toothbrush or floss. But when a person eats 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 widespread in catering establishments, and some use them at home. Attention is given to a list of the most popular toothpick models for 2024 with their pros and cons.

Product classification - criteria for choosing toothpicks

In public catering, as a rule, one version of the product is offered that best fits into the concept of the institution. But for home use, you can find sticks suitable specifically for your teeth, since the degree of sensitivity is individual for each. 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 kind of toothpicks are.

Types of tooth sticks - product features

It is customary to classify the assortment of this category according to several criteria: used raw materials, taste preference, 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 in comparison with plastic ones (less sharp). However, they are capable of leaving splinters in soft tissues, which cannot be said about plastic. If this happens that you should not panic: under the influence of saliva / water, the wood will swell and soften, and when rinsing it will wash out without causing severe injury to the gums.

Plastic sticks are convenient to use for cleaning a 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.

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

As for the flavors. Many manufacturers make sticks impregnated.It freshens breath when in use. Depending on taste preferences, the buyer makes a choice in favor of the most suitable option. For example, fruit are suitable for a child, nicotine for smokers, and mint for fresh breath.

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

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

The history of toothpicks - interesting information

As history shows, toothpicks were invented by the Neanderthals. After examining the skulls of this population, deep grooves were discovered at the base of the crown, which, it is assumed, were left after using objects to brush teeth from animal bones.

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

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

The secondary hygiene item (as it is commonly believed) is mentioned in the Quran: the 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 designs 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 product will depend, which is important when purchasing it. As a person is greeted by a cover, so do toothpicks. Most people prefer beautiful packaging so that in the future it will 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 individually packaged (each piece in a film), which is clearly different 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 more of them in number (disposable models).

In this case, budget options are best viewed in virtual stores. The popularity of the models was won by Chinese goods.

On a note! Please read customer reviews before ordering from Aliexpress.

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 point is that companies can specialize in different areas, and vice versa. It is often possible to purchase oral hygiene products for the whole family from one manufacturer, 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, it is necessary 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 can I buy. This can be a pharmacy, any store, or an order through an online platform.

The recommendations for buying a hygiene product are different, but the choice is always up to the client.
