Dr. Tung’s Perio Sticks

Unlike standard round toothpicks, these feature a tapered, flat-sided design specifically engineered to fit between teeth. This shape allows them to reach tight interdental spaces more effectively to remove plaque and debris without damaging your gums.

Yes, they are crafted from high-quality birch wood, which provides the necessary durability for daily use. While they are sturdy, they are designed to be flexible enough to navigate tight gaps without snapping easily.

These are generally gentler than plastic picks or standard round wood picks because of their tapered, smooth profile. However, if you have particularly sensitive gums, use a light touch and avoid forcing the pick into spaces that are too tight.

Yes, they are made from natural birch wood, making them fully biodegradable and a more sustainable alternative to plastic interdental tools.

While these are excellent for general interdental cleaning, they are not a substitute for floss or specialized interdental brushes if you have braces or permanent bridges. They are best suited for cleaning between natural teeth.
