Dentist Cautions Against Flossing Picks: Here's Why

Dentist Lulu Tang advises against using flossing picks for cleaning teeth, as they may not effectively clean below the gum line and can damage gums if used improperly. In a viral TikTok video, she demonstrates the correct 'c-shape' technique for flossing and suggests using multiple picks per session to avoid spreading bacteria. While some viewers agree with her advice, others defend the convenience of flossing picks, especially for those with small mouths or difficulty using traditional floss.
