My upper left back molar. I always feel like some food is stuck there. I've tried flossing but it doesn't help. I feel there is a cavity there.

Dear Madam,
Please visit your dentist. The easiest ay to confirm if there is a cavity is a dental check up and an Xray of that area. The X Ray will show the presence of cavity in a tooth or bone loss causing gaps in teeth resulting in food getting stuck there. Once the cause is found out, the dentist will suggest the best treatment options- either a filling or a root canal and cap or maybe just teeth cleaning.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist and get an Xray done
