Food stuck in teeth
I have a piece of meat stuck in my molars and I can't get it out. I've tired a toothbrush and flossing but it is not helping... it's been like 12 hours now and my gum is swelling please I need help ASAP. I can't go to the dentist any time soon cause it's night so I need suggestions.
