Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain if you have something stuck under the tooth into the gums it can led to infection due to bacterial proliferation..

In case if it is stuck or impacted deeper in the gums then using a toothpick or any other thing for that matter can further cause trauma and injury to the gums leading to deeper spread of infection and inflammation of gums known as Gingivitis..

I would suggest you to consult a dentist and get evaluated and in case something is stuck into the gums Professional cleaning known as Scaling can be done using the small tip of an instrument to clean deeper areas between tooth and gums without damaging the gums and provide you relief..

Hope your query is solved..

Thanks and regards..
