A Quick Guide For Getting Out Seeds Stuck in Your Teeth

A collection of blackberries, strawberries, and other berries with seeds that can get stuck in your teeth.

It’s a common annoyance: a tiny seed gets stuck between your teeth.

While it might seem like a minor inconvenience, we at Pence Family Dentistry know that it can lead to discomfort and even potential dental issues if not addressed promptly.

What to Do:

Gentle Flossing:

Use dental floss to carefully dislodge the seed.

Be gentle to avoid damaging your gums.

Water Rinse:

Rinse your mouth vigorously with water to flush out any loose particles.

Dental Pick (If Necessary):

If the seed is stubborn, a dental pick can be used to gently dislodge it.

However, be cautious to avoid damaging your gums.

When to Seek Professional Help:

If you’re unable to remove the seed or if it causes significant pain or discomfort, it’s advisable to consult a dental professional. A Pence Family Dentistry dentist in the Fishers, Indiana area can provide expert assistance, ensuring the seed is removed safely and efficiently.

Remember, while a stuck seed might seem like a minor issue, it’s essential to address it promptly to prevent potential dental problems.
