A tool for cleaning teeth. Currently, the only thing commonly referred to as a "toothpick" is a "toothpick with a nail," but in the past toothbrushes were often called "toothbrushes," which shows that toothpicks were widely used to clean teeth. The custom of using a toothpick to clean teeth originated in India early on, where it was called "tandoka sezoku" in Sanskrit, which literally means "tooth stick" (Nankai Jiki Naipaden).

歯を掃除する用具。現在,一般に〈ようじ〉の名で呼ばれているのは〈つま(爪)ようじ〉くらいのものであるが,かつて歯ブラシのことをも〈ようじ〉と呼ぶことが多かったのは,以前,歯を掃除するのに広くようじが用いられたことを物語っている。ようじを用いて歯を掃除する習俗は早くインドに起こったもので,これをサンスクリットで〈憚哆家瑟詫〉と呼んだが,この語は直訳すると〈歯木〉という意味であった(《南海寄帰内法伝》)。
