Do Floss Picks Cause Spaces Between the Teeth or Black Triangles?

Many people have switched to floss picks instead of traditional dental floss, but do they increase your risk of black triangles or spaces between the teeth?

Dr. Joseph Nemeth answers this commonly asked question about floss picks.

In most cases, soft picks or inter proximal cleaners DO NOT cause black triangles or gaps between your teeth. We recommend interdental cleaners to most of our patients.

Some patients have larger spaces between the teeth and others have smaller spaces. For those with larger spaces its best to use a larger inter proximal brushes. Vice versa, for those with smaller spaces may be better off with a tiny soft pick advanced. There are even smaller instruments available for those with extremely tight spaces. In those cases, traditional dental floss might be the best bet.

In addition, some patients may find better luck using a Waterpik or Water Flosser. It all depends on whats most comfortable & effective for you.

The only time that a space or a black triangle may appear is if the patient has swollen gums or inflamed gum tissue. If you have inflamed or infected gum tissue, the soft picks may help get the tissue healthier and less swollen.

Once the gum swelling goes down, then it may reveal a space between the tooth that wasn't there previously. It is EXTREMELY important to clean between your teeth as often as possible because that is where gum disease starts!

The great thing about these floss picks is that they are easy to use and the spaces between the teeth can be cleaned quickly and frequently. That is going to be the best way to prevent gum disease and stop gum m swelling and inflamed gum tissue in its tracks!
