What should I do if my teeth are stuck when eating?

　　In fact, filling your teeth not only means there is something wrong with your teeth, but over time, it will also cause certain damage to your gums and even lead to periodontitis.

　　There are many reasons for blocked teeth. Some are caused by caries in the gaps between teeth; some are caused by failure to restore the original shape of the teeth after fillings, leaving gaps between them and adjacent teeth; and some are caused by uneven or tilted teeth. In addition, excessive wear on the tooth surface can also cause tooth congestion.

　　There are many potential harms to teeth caused by old teeth. First of all, it is one of the common causes of local periodontal tissue destruction and inflammation. On the one hand, food stuffed between teeth can irritate and damage the gingival papilla; on the other hand, bacteria can easily accumulate on the surface of the food and multiply locally to form plaque, which can aggravate the inflammation of the gum tissue, manifesting as gum redness, swelling, bleeding and pain, leading to "gingival papillary inflammation".

　　Secondly, if the gums are always chronically irritated by the food stuffed between the teeth, they will develop into periodontitis, which manifests as gum recession, abscesses, and often Bad breath , eventually causing teeth to become loose or even fall out. In addition, old plugged teeth will aggravate local dental caries, making it easier for food to become impacted, forming a vicious cycle.

　　Once a tooth is clogged, do not force it out with a toothpick, otherwise it will aggravate the damage to the gums. It is best to use dental floss. People with old teeth should ask a doctor to check the cause as soon as possible and carry out relevant treatment.
