Hi, I noticed a piece of herb stuck inside my lower gums after lunch today. I tried to push it out using an upward movement with my toothbrush and also tried to push it out with my fingers. But it is still not coming out. It is visible that something is stuck due to a much darker coloring of that area of the gums. Do I need to visit a dentist or will it dissolve on it own?  Thank you.
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. If I were your treating dentist, I would advise you to gently floss the area where the herb is stuck as sometimes the tooth brush will be inaccessible to clean interdentally. If still you are not able to remove it, visit your local dentist, and he will be able to do it. If it is not removed, it can lead to infection. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
