      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.

                  It is stuck in a gap caused by my mis-grown wisdom tooth. I kept digging it with my tongue and manage to get most of it out now. :cool:
