I went to the cinema 2 weeks ago with ds, we had some popcorn while there. I have since been having problems with a back tooth, i originally thought it was my wisdom tooth coming through but im now 99% sure its kernel from the popcorn.

Its giving me serious grief as its well wedged in and has been for 2 weeks. Ive tried everything to get it out but i cant. I dont want to waste the dentists time if i dont need to, but i dont know what else to do.

if its that wedged you need to see your dentist. my dad had to have an emergency app to remove the end of a toothpick before he went on holiday once.

I remember feeling a total twit asking the nurse at the university health centre to remove a splinter for me.

My dad would have done it in seconds, but my flat mates were not the most practical bunch.

Wooohooo! DP managed to get it out with some really fine tweezers! The relief is immense.
