I'm curious, as some cultures also have toothpicks on every restaurant table and toothpicks seem as if they might provide similar benefits to flossing...do people in your country use toothpicks a lot?

The main purpose of flossing is to scrape the narrow sides of the teeth, not to remove material from between the gaps.
