Hi samantha,
Thanks for writing in.
Usually the foil type paper gets soluble when comes in contact with saliva.
If it is really giving too much of stress and difficulty,
Blow your mouth to dry and scrap with a dry cotton holding with a tweezer.
Drink plenty of water.
If it is too far back,please do consult a dentist.
Get a dental check-up too.
take care.

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Usually the piece of foil can come out after sometimes due to the flow of saliva interdentally,
If not you can gargle your mouth with water , or use any sterile tooth pick or dental floss if it comes out easily.
If not dont panic and visit to the Dentist , with the help of dental instruments like probe or twezeer it will easily come out.
Hope this helps out.

hello ,
Any foreign substance or debris strucked in the gum may lead to inflammation of the gum tissue ,redness , pain and discomfort if left at place.
foil is a hard sharp substance and it may injure the gum tissue leading to pain and discomfort.
i would suggest you to use a dental floss to clean in between the teeth which may help in removing the foil. flossing technique removes the debris in between the teeth by pulling action.
if this does not help you need to consult a dentist and get a professional cleaning of gums done which helps in removing the debris.
i hope this helps ,

Hello,
I am Dr.Neha Gupta (dentist) and am glad to address to your query here.
Food impaction in between the teeth or lodgement of any irritants in the gum pocket leads to gingival inflammation.
In you case i suspect physical trauma to the gums by the impacted food can lead to formation of the gingival abscess.
course of antibiotic will help reducing the symptoms.
so i suggest you to consult a dentist .
use antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine for mouth gargling along with the course of medication .
Take care and please keep me informed of your progress at healthcaremagic through my profile directly.

Dear friend.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
The teeth in our mouth have tight inter dental areas,these are called embrasures.
sometimes certain food stuff and piece of fruits or nuts gets entrapped there.
It is difficult to approach there with simple brush,due to limitation of its design.
Therefore, please visit your dentist and get it removed with mechanical probe and also do warm antiseptic mouth rinsing after that.
Hope it helps.

Hi Samantha,
Well, I think you must visit your nearest dentist. Only he / she can remove it. Kindly do no experiment with unsterilized instruments.
Many kind regards
