Hello Sir, the reason behind the gaps between the two teeth should be first checked. it may be because of caries, teeth shifting to adjacent missing teeth area or may be natural alignment.
Next Steps
As an immediate solution you can use wooden Tooth pick or small Interproximal brush to remove food particles lodged between the teeth.
