Piksters Pikstix Toothpicks 30pk

Pikstix are toothpicks moulded from soft, flexible plastic rather than cut from wood. The shaft is triangular, which matches the shape of the natural space between two teeth better than a round pick does, and it carries micro holes and fine edges along its length to catch plaque and debris instead of simply pushing them along. Thirty picks per pack.

The practical argument for them over a wooden pick is that they do not splinter. A wooden toothpick that breaks in a tight contact leaves a fragment against the gum; a flexible plastic pick bends instead. Pikstix also have a twistable handle end for grip, and can be rinsed and reused rather than thrown away after one meal.

Directions

• Slide the pick gently into the gap between two teeth. Never force it against the gum.
• Rinse after use and let it dry.

Warnings

• Never force a pick against the gum.
• A pick clears trapped food. It does not clean the tooth surfaces inside the gap, so it is a useful addition to a daily routine rather than a replacement for one.
