Is it ok to use toothpicks?

Yes, it is ok to use toothpicks, but it does not take the place of flossing because there are some places that that floss can reach that the toothpick cannot. But if it is a choice between not flossing and toothpick, than a toothpick is an ok choice. Once again, it would not completely take place of the floss.
