Food occasionally getting stuck between your teeth is normal, but if it happens regularly in the same area, it may be a sign of an underlying dental issue. Gaps between teeth, worn fillings, gum disease, tooth movement, or cavities can all create spaces where food becomes trapped. Identifying the cause early can help prevent discomfort, bad breath, gum inflammation, and more serious dental problems.
