  another option that is better then toothpicks.
  
  sturdy straws, bite it flat and slide it thru your teeths.

  i'm poking blindly.

  aiyah.. go buy yakult or something like that with the stiff and sharp straw.. use it like a toothpick
  
  failing which, you can use a little pair of scissors.. but don't rip your gums to shreds

  its frankly very ugly to do. but it works cos the straw acts like a scoop to scoop away stucks in between the tooth.
  
  if its like way back of your teeth, might take a bit more deeper manuvering to work.
  
  or it might not be a stuck bone, but a protuding ridge of onr of your tooth after your gum receeded on that tooth.

  the_bear, this might be a good time to ask you to get some veneers.
  
  and interestingly, my paternal auntie is the distributor of such products to dentists.

  break down teeth too..
  
  teeth = calcium carbonate...
  
  calcium carbonate + acid = carbon dioxide + some kinda salt

  Vinegar = ethanoic acid.
  
  Calcium carbonate + ethanoic acid = calcium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water.
