Certainly yes. Interproximal brushes can be used to remove debris from interproximal region i.e. In between teeth.

Garima Malhotra · Answer

when we eat  food the initiation of digestion process starts in our mouth. when this process starts a byproduct is released i.e lactic acid, which leads to dimineralization (damage) of tooth, once the acidic phase gets over the buffer in saliva again remineralizes the tooth back to its healthy state. But in cases where there is food lodgement the tooth remains in a dimineralized state, as there is a continuous production of lactic acid, which leads to further damage of the tooth. so the answer to your question is yes, food stuck between two teeth can cause or lead to cavity

Hello, yes!when there is a food lodgement between crown/ cap of rct treated tooth & normal tooth, if we are unable to maintain hygiene between 2 tooth then there are changes of getting cavity with normal or non rct treated tooth. 2nd reason while selecting crown, during crown cutting patient fails to select "die preparation" option given by dentist. Always select die preparation option on master cast, so that it will be easier for lab. Person to see finish line of your crown preparation from all side .while making crown he/she will able to maintain "embrasure" as like in between two natural teeth. To avoid food lodgement in future. How to maintain? After every meal rinse nicely, do flossing. Brush twicely.
