Get it removed using scaler

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Thanks for the query..

If the chicken bone is not bring removed with your own self then you can get it checked by someone else with you and if they can see it and remove using a toothpick but gently..

But if it does not come out then you can consult a Dentist and they can use tweezers or scaler tips to remove it without injuring the gums..

You should get it removed soon as it can cause Infection in the gums..

Please revert back for more queries..
