Does anyone have some tips on how to get some popcorn that is wedged between my gums and molars out?
About 6 days ago I was eating some popcorn and I'm pretty sure that part of a kernel has gotten wedged between my last molar and the gum, which makes it really hard to reach and work with. My gums have gotten swollen and I have literally tried EVERYTHING I can think of to get it out. I've tried floss, toothpicks, swishing salt water even tweezers! I'd rather not go to the dentist because I currently don't have insurance. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips that could help? I'd really appreciate it.

Been there. Same exact problem. If its been that long you should go to the dentist. The cost will be negated by the relief. Money well spent.

I'd try to work it out with a tooth pick. This happened to me too. I made an appointment and then finally worked it out with my tongue and cancelled my appointment.

When you floss twist it aand then floss pull directly up. You've probably got a kernal that took the shape of your tooth
