What can you have a little piece of dental floss stuck in your teeth?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Try........: Hopefully you should be able to work it out with a new piece of dental floss, preferably waxed or dental tape. If you still have a problem you will have to see a dentist to ensure that it is all out and you don't have a broken filling, decay, or a rough margin on the filling.

Floss again: Try flossing again with a thin piece of floss. If there is still some caught or you are not sure, get to a dentist.
