Q: Are there any alternatives that I can use to clean the surfaces between my teeth other than using dental floss?

A: Yes, there are already different and effective alternatives for floss usage, although it is still the most effective way to clean your teeth. An example of an alternative product used by our Milpitas dentist in cleaning the surfaces between your teeth is called Stimudents. It is an orange-colored wooden toothpick and is extremely easy to use. It is very effective in removing plaques. This alternative conforms to the surfaces between the teeth. It does an excellent job in cleaning. This method has been tried and tested by most of our patients.
