Hi. It's probably because of the decay in between two teeth... That you are experiencing pain and food lodgement in the particular area
Next Steps
please get it checked at dental clinic. they will take an X-ray to see the extent or depth of the decay.. basically to see if the tooth pulp is involved or not. if not.. probably a filling would do but in case of pulp involvement that is a deep decay and continuous pain.. u might have to undergo root canal treatment followed by a cap. sometimes if the decay is too bad with continuous pus discharge .. there might be chances that even r. c. t might not help.. an extraction followed by restoration of missing tooth would be the choice of treatment.so depending on your case.. the dentist will take a favourable decision
Health Tips
please get it checked at the earliest and get the needful treatment done. decay or cavities at early stages are very easy to treat.never ignore a simple food lodgement issue.. as sometimes it indicates a start of a decay.
