Why does food get stuck in between the gums of my teeth?
Patient: Hi. I have a tooth that does not fit in my mouth, so it s on the side of another tooth, on top, believe it s a molar. Iv had it for about 8 years but in the past year latley iv been getting food stuck between it in my gums that becomes extreamly painful. Iv also been feeling tired, sluggish, dizzy, lightheaded, just simply out of it. I was wondering what this could be? It s running my everyday life Doctor: Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The food lodgement is because of the malaligned teeth. consult a oral physician and get your teeth cleaned and after that maintain oral hygiene. You can take an opinion from the orthodontist to correct the malaligned teeth with braces. you can use mouth washes and you should rinse your mouth soon after eating anything. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
