What is a good substitute for...

[Jon Sagara]

Dental floss... but I suppose you don't have immediate access to that, either. You need to get yourself a Swiss Army Knife. ;)

That is a nice idea. He can pluck teeth with that. I thought he wanted to remove something that got stuck between tooth. :laugh:

If the gap where the food is stuck isn't too tight, a Kleenex(tm) folded over a couple of times will often do the trick. For tighter gaps, or more-wedged-in food, try a sheet of paper towel.

For incisors I normally use a small piece of normal A4 printer paper, folded once or twice according to the gap. Be careful as it has a sharp edge.

The food is stuck in a gap caused by my mis-grown wisdom tooth. Anyway i manage to get some of the stuff out now, thanks to my tongue. :->
