What to do if it hurts when eating meat stuck in teeth

Meat is an indispensable ingredient in our lives. Many people like to eat meat very much. Although meat tastes good, sometimes some meat gets stuck in the gaps between teeth when eating. If the meat cannot be taken out in time, it will cause severe pain in the teeth. If the situation is serious, the meat will breed bacteria in the mouth, causing bad breath.

1. If the infection is not very deep, you can use your fingers to take it out . The best way is to wash your hands and take it out directly with your fingers. This refers to the simplest situation. 2. If the plug is too tight when brushing your teeth or rinsing your mouth , you need to find another way. If you use a toothbrush to rinse your mouth, brush out the meat residue. 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 your teeth. The process of brushing your teeth should also be gentle, not too hard, so as not to damage the teeth. When picking your teeth, be sure not to injure your gums, otherwise it may not be worth the effort.

3. Chewing gum: If brushing cannot clean the gaps between teeth, you can try chewing 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 of the teeth by the chewing gum, and can then be easily removed with a toothpick or directly with your hands. 4. If the floss still won’t come out, use dental floss or a toothpick. But it is not recommended to use toothpicks. Dental floss is a relatively safe way to clean between teeth.

How to use dental floss to pick your teeth: When eating meat, the gaps between teeth get stuck. Many people are used to using toothpicks to pick their teeth. Although the food is removed, the gaps between teeth become larger and larger. Moreover, toothpicks can easily puncture gums and cause infection, which is not environmentally friendly. This method is not recommended. In this case, dental floss is better than a toothpick. In addition, deep cleaning with dental floss before going to bed every day can also prevent the formation of dental tartar. (1) Take out the dental floss stick, hold the thin stick in your hand, and look in the mirror. Rub the wire between your teeth and into your gums without applying too much pressure. Clean one side of the space between your teeth first. Rub slowly up and down, left and right, and the dental floss should form a "C" shape with the tooth surface to clean a larger area. Then clean the other side of the gap between teeth in the same way. The order starts from the simple front teeth to the big teeth that are difficult to clean. After finishing one side, switch to the other side, and after finishing the top, switch to the bottom. When a dental floss stick becomes contaminated, replace it with a new one. It takes a lot of dental floss to clean all the teeth. (2) First, cut a section of dental floss about 30 cm long from the dental floss roll. Use two hands with the mirror in front of you. Wrap the two ends around the middle fingers of both hands, leaving 10cm in the middle to make the line taut. The middle finger controls the length of the line. During use, one middle finger loosens the line and the other middle finger winds it up to get a clean line segment. The index finger and middle finger work together to control the strength and position of the line. The cleaning method and sequence are the same as for dental floss with a stick. Dental floss with a stick is suitable for beginners, but dental floss rolls are more cost-effective.
