Get To Know The Mystery Behind Cinnamon Toothpicks

By Jocelyn Davidson


Picking ones teeth is one of the earliest human habits which began many decades ago. It is approximated that this habit started with the invention of sticks that happened almost the same era as the invention of the wheel. During the ancient times, the sticks were made using metals such as gold and silver or wood, ivory and bone among others. Modern trends have shown the adoption of sticks made of wood as they have minimal effects on the dental structure. These sticks are available in different shapes like round and flat and include flavored sticks such as cinnamon toothpicks, frilled sticks and colored sticks among others.

One of the advantages of using the toothpicks is that they are able to make you smell fresh after a hasty meal. Once you take food the components are able to remove some of the bad smells that remain in your mouth. It would be very embarrassing if you talked to your friend immediately you take meals and see him/her making faces as they push you away.

There are various substances used to make flavored sticks such a cinnamon, maple, bacon, mint, citrus, orange, lemon and cherry among others. Flavored sticks are recommended for people who are addicted to nail biting, snacking and smoking among other forms of addiction. They are also preferred over chewing gum and candies because they are free of damaging calories and sugars that may cause dental cavities.

In the recent world many people who have been slaves of cigarette smoking for a long time use the sticks as a substitute. Once they get the cravings, they use the sticks to prevent the damage of the lungs after long times of smoking. Scientific research has it that once a cigarette smoker places the stick on the mouth, it manipulates the mind, and this leads to relieving the cigarette cravings.

You can get flavored sticks from various shopping outlets in packs that commonly constitute of 5 to 15 sticks. However, there are bigger packs that are preferred by people addicted to smoking as they need to use them often whenever they have smoking cravings. The flavored sticks may cost more than those that have no flavor.

You can have your own homemade flavored sticks by acquiring the necessary raw materials such as flat or round-shaped sticks, a clean glass jar, cinnamon oil and other products you may need from a certified food outlet. Dip your sticks in a jar containing at least one ounce of the flavored oil and close the jar to leave no space for escape of the flavor.

Before putting your sticks in the pack, you should ensure that they are dry. You could do that by putting the sticks on a flat surface of course after you remove them from the jar, check if they dried off thoroughly. If they are not yet dry enough, consider placing the sticks on a sheet of cookie and preheat them in the microwave to 250 Fahrenheit.

You can store the sticks in a suitable packaging product for later use. If any oil has remained, you can also store it and use it to make more flavored sticks another time. It is recommended that you buy your raw materials only from certified food stores and that you do personal research before making flavored sticks to avoid health complications.
