Please help I was eating popcorn and I got this little hard piece pop corn stuck in between my gum and tooth.  I flossed really good and I thought I got it all out.  However now my gums in that area is really hurting me.  What can I do to make sure I got it all out?  How can I stop the gum pain?  Will the pain just go away or should I see a dentist?
