It’s a common annoyance: a tiny seed gets stuck between your teeth.
While it might seem like a minor inconvenience, it can lead to discomfort and even potential dental issues if not addressed promptly.
What to Do:
Gentle Flossing:
Use dental floss to carefully dislodge the seed.
Be gentle to avoid damaging your gums.
Water Rinse:
Rinse your mouth vigorously with water to flush out any loose particles.
Dental Pick (If Necessary):
If the seed is stubborn, a dental pick can be used to dislodge it gently.
However, be cautious to avoid damaging your gums.
