Growing up, my dad often said that raw carrots are "nature's toothbrush" and he would encourage us to end any picnic lunch with carrot sticks, not with a sugary dessert. Can carrot sticks function like a little twig in terms of knocking undesirable food gunk off teeth?

Can't confirm but this feels right. Chewing on carrot breaks loose any food that sticks to my teeth.
