How do i get a popcorn kernal out of my gum which is all the way in the back?!pl!


Question: Don't use a wooden toothpick. I accidentally broke one off trying to get a popcorn kernel out and a portion of the toothpick embedded in my gums...I had to get a root canal. A water pik is best, but you might try those plastic picks with the attached dental floss. If you can't remove it, you should visit the dentist.

If you don't have a water pic, then use the sprayer on your kitchen faucet....spray the water all around it and see if it loosens up and comes out.

Use dental floss too.

dental floss!

brush your teeth

Have a friend pitch in.

keep rubbing it with your tounge it will enventually come out i promise

I use a toothpick to prod it free. However, if that fails, try swishing it with water. Just keep playing with it, eventually it will work its way free!

Take care and I wish you the best of luck,
