Regarding mouth wash

2025-07-18 14:07:31
I have some minor chicken stuck in the last teeth from 15 days. Which mouth wash can help to remove? I tried salt water but didn't help much.

Thank you for reaching out. If food debris like chicken has been stuck for 15 days, it’s important to act early to prevent infection or decay in that area. 🦷 My Clinical Opinion: Food trapped in the last molar region (usually wisdom teeth area) is common due to limited space and angulation. If saltwater hasn’t helped and it’s been over 2 weeks, there’s likely some plaque or soft tissue inflammation now. Mouthwash alone cannot remove food particles once they’re lodged deep — mechanical cleaning is needed.
Next Steps
Visit a dental clinic to safely and thoroughly remove the stuck food. Attempting to remove it yourself after this long may harm your gums or push it deeper. Start using a water flosser or interdental brush daily for long-term maintenance — especially if you frequently get food stuck in that area.
Health Tips
Avoid toothpicks — they can injure gums and create pockets. Brush the last molars gently but thoroughly with a small-headed brush. Use a mirror and flashlight to inspect hard-to-reach areas regularly. Leaving food stuck for too long can lead to decay, gum abscess, or foul odor. A short dental visit now can save you future trouble. Warm regards, Dr. Nita Kalambe Shree Dental Care & Implant Center

Hello sir, If it's from 15 days, then visit the dental clinic. Need to see the situation of the tooth and that area. Use interdental floss or proxa brush if still not working then show it to the doctor.
Next Steps
visit the clinic.

Hi, you can start flossing—use a water flosser if available. You should also use a mouthwash like Chlorhexidine (e.g., Hexidine or Rexidine) twice daily after brushing. Avoid using toothpicks, as they can injure your gums and cause further problems. Make sure to brush your teeth twice a day for at least 2 minutes each time and maintain good oral hygiene.
