Which Teeth: She may have teeth erupting in the back (6 year molars) she may be gettin loose teeth up front usually starting with the centrals on the lower. She may literally have something in her teeth. Take a good look. Make sure to encourage her to keep eating but if concerned see a dentist for care and consult.

Could be something..: It really could be something stuck, like a popcorn kernel, or meat. Try some floss first. It also could be decay between the teeth that has caused a tooth to breakdown and has irritated the gum. Have your dentist check it out.

Teething possibly: Most children start teething between 5 1/2 ; 6 1/2. Loose teeth could make her feel like something is stuck there. Go see your daughter's pediatric dentist for an exam. They will be able to help you.

Something stuck: Many possibilities including food impaction between teeth, erupting 6 year permanent molars, loosening baby teeth, cavity, gum trauma, burn, and other possibilities. If flossing between her teeth does not provide relief, please have her see her General Dentist or Pediatric Dental Specialist (Pedodontist) immediately.
