How to remove something stuck in teeth

We need to eat a variety of things every day, especially when eating some meat, it is easy for food to get stuck in the teeth and cannot be taken out, which is very uncomfortable. If food is stuck in the teeth for a long time, it is easy to cause swollen and painful gums, and even cause loose teeth. Everyone should use the correct method to get the food out of the teeth in time. Using dental floss, toothpicks and other tools is very good.

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.

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 4

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 5

Of course, if all methods fail to work and the gums have begun to become congested and swollen, then the editor recommends that you immediately seek help from a professional dentist to clean your teeth to avoid causing greater oral problems. In daily life, everything related to teeth is important. I hope everyone will pay more attention to protecting their teeth. Finally, I wish everyone has good teeth and smiles often.

If you happen to have some nail clippers (usually easy to borrow), cut a line of the nail on your thumb (or relatively wide nail), about 1MM wide, and cut it into a half-crescent shape along the outline of the nail, but do not cut it through. Then use this piece of nail as a toothpick to go deep into the mouth to clean between teeth (provided that your nails are clean).
