There is one specific gap in between two teeth (15 & 14) that, every time I eat food, the food gets stuck there. After the food is stuck, it becomes quite painful, and the pain does not ever subside by its self. However, flossing that gap and removing the debris instantly alleviates the pain. I was at the dentist, getting some teeth removed, and when I asked about this specific gap/tooth, the dentist insisted that those teeth are perfectly healthy, and those teeth can not be removed.

It might be a cavity on the side of your tooth, which is sometimes not very easy to detect. Or it could just be physiologic spacing, which occurs due to underlying conditions and bone loss. Kindly get a second opinion from another dentist and i'm sure your problem will be diagnosed and treated in no time. Good luck!

Feel like you should go to another dentist as previous dentist seems to have missed the diagnosis. For proper diagnosis x-ray of tooth is a must. Just by looking at it even dentist can't make out what's happening inside the bone and roots of the concerned teeth. Its mostly due to decayed teeth from in between the two teeth. Either one or both might be decayed due to which food lodgement occurs repeatedly. If one or both the teeth are decayed then a proper filling or rct and crown may help to stop the food lodgement occurrence. I would suggest you to visit more dentists to get more accurate idea for what exactly the problem is. Hope this helps.

Hello Lybrate user. The gap can be due to dental caries or proximal caries. Flossing does not cause severe pain. I advice you to take an orthopantamogram and check for dental caries. Sometimes clinically caries will not be visible. If there are dental caries, you can go for restoration. Avoid chewing that side. Do soft brushing. Use mouth washes. The permanent relief is by doing dental treatment to that teeth after seeing orthopantamogram. Consult me for further details. Thank you.

Hello! the gap can be due to cavity also. Get the teeth checked again for cavity. If the gap is natural, due to constant food lodgement and due to poor oral hygiene, the gums may have receeded in that particular area, causing a pocket formation, that causes pain whenever the food is lodging there. Get deep cleaning of that area and in case a cavity is there, get it restored. Use floss daily and brush twice a day. Rinse the mouth after every meal.
