HELP - fine piece of dental floss = stuck!

I had the same thing, a very fine piece of floss stuck behind my teeth. It was seriously annoying, I ended up having to ask the dentist to get rid of it.

Try and separate only a few bristles It usually works for me when I get things stuck in my teeth. If you have an electric toothbrush, try that too, it might help to wiggle the floss enough to pull it out
How close is it to your gums?

How did your dentist remove it? I am panicking that I will be stuck with this for the rest of my life



I will give that a try tonight and see how I get on, thank you. It feels like someone is constantly sitting on my teeth but is giving no let up @ all lol

The floss is between the 2 teeth, but in the gum (if that makes sense). If I could part my teeth and then pick it out, that would help so much, but I can't get to it, or can it be seen!? That's the problem! I feel it though, the pressure is just unbelievable!

It was some sort of high powered jet followed by a really fine tool to 'push' it out, not sure what it was. It got rid of it though - don't worry, your dentist is there to help with anything teeth/gum related. They'll be able to help you!

Yes, I feel like I want a high powered jet wash to just blast it out.

I will try and find another dentist . . another £18.80

Buy some of this ****:

I tried tweezers and flossing it out with another piece of floss, I couldn't take the pressure any more so I caved in and went the dentist. You might be able to get it out though, the price just to get a fine piece of floss out is extortionate!

I think I understand, don't try to brush too much on your gums when trying this method, wouldn't want you to hurt them as well good luck!

I have a wonky canine on the bottom too haha. Hope you get it sorted but I'm out of ideas

UPDATE:

Went back to dentist today, saw someone else. He couldn't see it! But I said I can feel the pressure! He said maybe because I've been poking & prodding so much the area is tender still. Give it a few days & see, if no change, I'm to come back.
I've started oil pulling hoping that'll help to dislodge it but I think it's going to be a 'watch this space' situation

awh man can't you get the back/ front of it with tweezers?

Tweezers won't get it out. What I'd like to do is separate the 2 teeth, & fish it out but you can't do that unless I'm having the tooth / teeth removed! It feels like it's stuck in the gum as its such a fine fine piece :-(.

It's incredibly frustrating & annoying, doesn't help also I'm having issues with my wisdom tooth (on the same side).

daym... well i mean i've had popcorn stuck in my lower teeth/ gum area and worked it out using my tongue/ nails

... so idk maybe that'll work?

do you have a thin firm plastic? that you can stick in there and get it out?
or like your shower head - is that very pressurised?
oh or what about those christmas tree looking things?



or this

yes go to another dentist - don't try pulling it hard - once i had a bit of flos stuck and when i pulled it pulled the tooth's filling with it.
