Toothpicks aren’t that hard to find
Alright, I will admit to using a fork to get stuff out of my teeth a few times, but that’s honestly pretty rare, and I only do it if I have to, as toothpicks are much nicer to use (that is what they’re made for, after all).
This story on Reuters I think falls into the weird filter. According to a survey, about 60 percent of people in Britain admit that they use makeshift items like screwdrivers, needles, and keys to get stuff out of their teeth.
The National Dental Survey found that, when it came to oral hygiene, people used whatever was close to hand to pick their teeth.
More than 60 percent questioned by the British Dental Health Foundation said they used makeshift items, including knives, keys, needles and forks.
The survey also found that 23 percent of people chose to leave food stuck between their teeth, increasing the risk of gum disease and bad breath, according to the foundation which promotes oral health.
