Pain is because of food lodgement, so maintain hygiene and do mouth rinse and floss after every meal.,so that If something is stuck ,it will come out.
But make sure there is no cavity or decayed part on that tooth ,if it is then go for restoration .

Food lodgement can cause decay between the teeth and may lead to pain and discomfort. Please visit a dentist so that he can determine the best solution for the problem. May be simple flossing and filling the cavity may help you early
