Treatment
Object Stuck in Mouth
Safe, gentle removal of food or an object lodged in your teeth or gums when home efforts fail.
Sometimes food or a small object gets firmly lodged between teeth or in the gums and will not come out with brushing or floss. We can remove it safely.
Your dentist gently removes the object with the right tools, checks for any irritation or damage, and makes sure the area is clean and comfortable.
Professional removal avoids the gum damage that comes from poking at it yourself, and relieves the pressure and irritation quickly.
