The single-ended dental sticks are designed to cater for the full range of inter-proximal spaces between the teeth and have therefore a triangular cross section. The tapered profile on the wooden dental sticks and the flexibility of the Nordic birch wood make the dental sticks adaptable to most inter-proximal shapes and sizes. The mint-flavored, single-ended dental sticks are best suited for those people with normal to wide spaces between their teeth and leave a fresh aftertaste in the mouth. To use, moisten the stick in your mouth before using the dental stick. This makes the stick stronger and less easy to break. The wet dental stick will also better adapt itself to the spaces between the teeth and the fibers in the wood will have a scrubbing effect providing effective cleaning.
