If it's paining then don't wait and show to a dentist as soon as possible. But till that time u can try Interdental brush which can be used to remove and particles which are stuck in between teeth. You can get these in any medical shop. It's better than toothpick and cause no harm to gums . U can also try warm salt water rinse as many times as possible.it may reduce the pain. And if nothing works kindly show to dentist.
Next Steps
