Today, I was using a wooden toothpick to try to get at some food that was firmly lodged between my teeth. The toothpick broke and now I also have a splinter of wood jammed in there too. FML

Tried floss but that didn't work. Ended up buying some plastic toothpicks and was able to eventually pry the food and splinter free. I think I'll be using plastic from now on after this experience.

Dental floss would've been a better choice.

Better that than accidentally chipping your tooth or something

Doesn't work for things stuck between the teeth.

It always works for me. Try a different toothbrush.

Luckily I was able to get the splinter and the food out eventually. It took buying some plastic toothpicks and a lot of patience.

Right. Because the logical thing to do after getting a partial toothpick lodged in between your teeth is to insert it back in again.
