Water pik: If you know someone who has a WaterPik or if you have one then try to dislodge it using that. You can also try dental floss. If these don’t work then you need to go see your dentist. But I think one of these will probably work just fine.

Small object: You may have a piece of food debris stuck in your gums. Can cause problems. Would be best to see your Dentist to evaluate and treat the problem rather than trusting to luck.

Good afternoon. I am having swollen gums often, they are sensitive too and now they are moving hugely-the teeth became visible and painful. Can it be because I have high blood pressure and daily irregular heartbeat and chronic kidney failure please?
