Dentist hate this one little trick… because it is not actually as good as flossing. Floss picks tend to have a very tight piece of floss. It is good for cleaning the surfaces directly between your teeth, but not the curved parts of the teeth.

I hate regular floss (or rather sticking my fat fingers deep into my mouth), so flossing sticks are better than nothing.

What I do to mediate that is sticking in the floss pick, turning it and pulling it out while under tension and whatever it doesn't get will be removed by brushing. My dentist told me I have very healthy teeth (I actually don't even brush very consistently (please don't do this even though it happened to work out for me (I was depressed, just listen to your dentist))). I also floss the gap between each tooth twice, once applying pressure to one side and vice versa.
