I have food stuck underneath my gum-line. Will it cause any harm to leave it there?

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010
Q.
I got two really tiny flat bits of food (pepper I think) stuck at the top of one of my canines, and in trying to get them out, I pushed them up further, under the gum. Now I can just very faintly see tiny shadows underneath my gum at the top of my tooth (though apparently my friend can’t see them!) The tooth is right at the front of my mouth & I don’t want to damage the gum by trying further to get the bits out. There is no inflammation. Will it cause any harm to leave the bits there? Will they come out by themselves or get worse? Thanks for any help you can give!,
A.
They should come out themselve… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I have been fitted implants on the lower jaw with a small gap between the new teeth and the gum in which food gets stuck. While short after eating food tends to drain out, the experience of eating and feeling the gaps filled is not very pleasant. Is there anything that could be done to the gum to allow the teeth sitting onto it?,
