+1 but also a modern twist: intradental brushes. They're a piece of wire with a handle, coated with bits to pull plaque off teeth.

You use them exactly like a toothpick but they have a nice big grip and you can get 90 degree versions with long handles for your back teeth.

A pack will easily last a year.

Cannot be bothered flossing (and I salivate a lot which makes it harder) but intradental brushes are now part of my daily routine.



How long does one last? Do you use one for a week, month or just whenever you change your toothbrush?


About a month. The main thing is the plastic bumps on the wire wear away after a while.


Oh nice. They are pretty cheap then. I don't floss as much as I should (or should I?) so might give these a try. Thanks
