Food stuck in back teeth.

Hi Shelly,
My son has some orange stuff stuck in the surface of a back tooth. He has tried swishing with warm water, using a normal toothbrush, an electric toothbrush, poking at it with a toothpick, even chewing a very sticky toffee but it does not want to come out!
It feels hard and I just cannot think of any food that he has eaten that would turn into cement!
Any ideas before we head off to the dentist?
Thank you!
reply by Shelly ~ adminHi Jackie, Thanks for writing.
Hopefully the stain can be easily removed by your dentist or hygienist. Some tooth stains are orange and are impossible to remove with a toothbrush.
Your dentist or hygienist should not have a problem getting it off:)
Good Luck,
