Here are several food items that typically get stuck in your mouth:

Bread

This is one of the worst things when it comes to getting stuck to the root of your mouth and in between your teeth. Even though bread can be very delicious, it is not good for your teeth or your body. This is because some of the particles of bread can turn to mush while you are chewing it and becomes trapped inside of the spaces in between the teeth. Normally after people have eaten white bread, they will have to pick the particles out of their teeth. If you really love bread, then it might be a good idea to start eating wheat bread. This is because there are less chances of the wheat bread sticking to your mouth and getting stuck.

Popcorn

There is a big chance that popcorn kernels are going to get stuck in your teeth. Popcorn is very difficult to get out of your mouth and teeth once they are in there. The kernels and shells from the popcorn can press against a portion of the tooth and move underneath the gums. The best way that you will be able to remove the kernels of popcorn from your teeth is with floss. But you need to be aware that this might not always work if the popcorn is really embedded in your gums. This is when you are going to need to go see a dentist so that they can help you out with the situation.

Spinach

Most of the time, people are going to eat a lot of spinach because it is a superfood. But since the spinach is soft, it will get stuck in your teeth and cause you a lot of discomfort. The worst part is that you might have spinach stuck in your teeth and not even realize that it is in there unless someone tells you. Therefore, when your smile the spinach in your teeth is not going to be very attractive at all. Plus, if you leave the spinach in your teeth for a long period of time, then it can cause your teeth to decay. If you eat a lot of spinach, then it is a good idea to brush your teeth and floss on a regular basis. It also helps if you drink a lot of water because it can remove some of the particles from your teeth.

Meat

This happens when the meat is tough and chewy. The thinner strands of the meat can get caught up in your teeth. This is especially true for steak, chicken, pork, and fish. The meats that are a little bit more tougher can be more difficult to remove from the teeth. This is also true of the meat that people eat off the bone like chicken wings and ribs. These things are going to be very likely to get stuck in your teeth.

Crackers

If you eat a few crackers, then you might think that there is no reason for you to brush your teeth or floss. But all of these foods that have a lot of salt in them are not going to be good for your teeth. In fact, crackers are one of the top reasons that a person might have cavities. The saltine crackers are going to be even worse for your teeth. This is because they are highly processed and have fermentable starch in them. When these types of crackers get stuck in your teeth, they will feed off of the harmful bacteria and cause the teeth to decay even more than they normally would with regular crackers that you might eat on a regular basis.
