It’s always important to be careful when handling your dog, especially around their teeth.

To avoid any potential harm, always use a toothpick with caution and make sure it’s sturdy enough to handle the job. If you do need to use a toothpick on your dog, make sure to hold it loose so that he or she can’t get ahold of it. And lastly, never try to pull teeth – this could hurt both you and the dog greatly!
Toothpick Safety
Toothpicks can be a dangerous weapon if not used properly. Always keep children and pets away from sharp objects like toothpicks and scissors. If there’s blood on the toothpick or if it seems stuck in the animal’s mouth, do not attempt to remove it yourself – contact a veterinarian immediately. If your dog tries to eat something with the toothpick still in it, take it out slowly and carefully. When picking up a toothpick, always hold it by the point so you don’t cut yourself. Remember, toothpicks are for toothpick removal and should never be used for any other purpose!
