    oooh suck? I can do that!

    Couldn't find cocktail stick but I have cuticle stick. I'll stick it in one side and suck it out the other. I may be a while.

    Have you tried a No. 8 knitting needle. Or a crochet hook? Diluted sulphuric acid should break it down

    I don't knit but there is a fishing tackle box downstairs. Fish hook? And could I substitute the sulphuric acid for white wine vinegar?

    Phew! I bet you're exhausted but plainly relieved. You're so lucky it didn't morph into a congar eel.

    I know! I think the best course of action is to no longer brush my teeth and let the plaque block up those dangerous gaps.

    Or ask your dentist if he would kindly remove all your teeth, then have fun replacing said teeth with Festival flavoured TicTacs.

    And it won't come out!

    I have a crooked tooth at the bottom and the floss got lodged between it and another tooth. So I yanked the dental floss and as it knotted up at the back of my tooth and got stuck. I've managed to pull bits out with the tweezers but now, there's a little bit left that I can't get a grip of. It's doing my head in!

    Should I try and dislodged it with more dental floss?

    No, go to the sea, and find some seaweed, then use the seaweed to floss out the real floss.

    ETA: Oh, no seaweed? You musta got lucky.

    No Woolly, that is sound advice. Don't know why anyone would bother looking through the dentist forum when all the solutions are right here, in AH.
