Blood/food/decay?: Don't be concerned about what's on the toothpick and don't use toothpicks to clean your teeth. Use a tooth brush and floss and see a dentist ASAP to repair the tooth. When was your last dental checkup?

Tooth decay is usually painless, and may not produce any signals until it has damaged a deep part of your tooth. The only way to cure this disease is with professional dental treatment.
