Never go for tooth picks because it tends to worsen the condition further. Theres plenty of options available in the market other then tooth picks. U can get floss which would help u alot. Proxabrushes are also available which would be very helpful. Proxabrushes come in two forms dats WS (Wide space) NS(Narrow Space). As u r 28yrs of age NS Microbrush is suggested. These brushes effectively remove food particles from inbetween the teeths without harming surrounding gums. Hope u got ur queries answered!!!

Next Steps

Get a live consult which would be quite beneficial.
