If you have a food impaction in your teeth and can’t remove it on your own, don’t poke hard with a toothpick, as that will cause the gum papillae to edema and bleed, which will push the food deeper into your teeth, making it even less likely to remove the food. If you have a dental flosser at home, you can use it to remove the food. If you don’t have a flosser, you can also choose to floss, or if flossing isn’t available, you can use a live flosser to remove the food from your teeth. If none of these options are available, the patient needs to go to the dentist of a regular hospital in a timely manner to have a professional doctor help remove the food from the gaps in the teeth and rule out the cause of the food filling to achieve the goal of healing.
