I read on a dentist's website that, for those who hate to floss, using a
toothpick after each meal is a good alternative. He said that the grain
of the wood does a better job at scraping off food particles than the
smoother floss. Since I have some crooked teeth, I usually use a
toothpick anyway after eating. What do you think?

-Toothpicks will wear your teeth more than floss
-Toothpicks will only clean the space between gums/teeth not in between
teeth
