You try to nudge it with your finger and tongue, but to no avail; you&rsquo;re unsuccessful. So, what do you do? If you&rsquo;re like most people, you go to the cabinet and pull out a toothpick.

However, it may be necessary if you use the wrong tool for the job. Make sure to choose safer solutions so your teeth and gums remain intact and pain-free.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Aaron Swingdorf earned his dental degree from the University of Minnesota in 2011 and has been with Chaska Dental Center since 2014.
