How to get something stuck in teeth

After we finish eating, there will usually be some traces of food left on the teeth, so this problem can be solved by just rinsing the mouth. However, some foods may accidentally get stuck in the teeth after eating, which is quite embarrassing. If food stays in the teeth for a long time, it may cause swollen or inflamed gums, and may also cause loose teeth.

Method 1

Generally speaking, if food is stuck between teeth and can be taken out with our fingers, the best way is to wash your hands and take it out directly with your fingers. Of course, this refers to the simplest situation.

Method 2

If the food is stuck tightly, you will need to use tools. Generally, foods like enoki mushrooms can be picked out directly with a toothpick. But be careful not to hurt your mouth or gums with the tip of the toothpick. And using toothpicks frequently is harmful.

Method 3

The second is to use a compression wire. If the gaps between teeth are too tight and food cannot be picked out with a toothpick, you should use dental floss. Dental floss is a relatively safe way to clean between teeth. Generally it will succeed once, if not try a few more times. But be careful not to let the needle tip hurt your gums.

Method 4

If the previous methods cannot remove the food, then the editor recommends brushing your teeth immediately. Try to choose a toothbrush with fine and hard bristles. Do not use toothpaste. Just use clean water to brush back and forth up and down the teeth.

Method 5

Finally, if brushing your teeth doesn’t clear the gaps between your teeth, here’s a trick: chew gum. Choose sugar-free chewing gum, preferably a few pieces at a time, and chew harder than usual. After a few minutes, you will find that the food stuck in the teeth will be squeezed out by the chewing gum, and then you can remove it with a toothpick or directly with your hands.

Method 6

Of course, if all other methods fail to work and the gums have begun to become congested and swollen, then immediately seek help from a professional dentist to clean your teeth to avoid causing greater oral problems.

Precautions

1. The tools used for picking teeth must be cleaned or disinfected, and must not be used directly

2. Be careful not to hurt your gums when picking your teeth, otherwise it may not be worth the effort.
