I was just on my way out...so I cleaned and began to floss my teeth.
A long piece of floss has become trapped between two of my molars....upon some mysterious protruberance of a new and extensive filling, which I have been warned could easily be broken/dislodged.
If I yank it out, I fear the filling will come with it.
I do not want to go out with a long piece of dental floss trailing from my mouth.
I don't know that hiding it IN my mouth will be a good idea.
I could cut it off short, but:
a. People will see it kind of bristling when I laugh.
and.
b. I will be left with a short piece of floss to try to manouvre when I get home.
HELP........
This reminds me of a friend who went into casualty because he had slept with his soft contact lenses in his eye, and they had become stuck like glue to his eyeballs.
He had a thing like a tiny plunger that you use to clear blocked drains....you know, a wee suction cup with a wee rubber handle.
He used it to try and remove one contact lens.
IT became stuck like glue to the contact lens which was stuck like glue.
Now he had two desperately unhappy eyes with contact lenses stuck to them AND a rubber plunger sticking out of one eye.
The casualty clerk looked at him boredly and said: "Nature of problem."
My friend, who was hungover, coming down, AND had two monstrously red eyes and a rubber plunger sticking out of his eye said things which were not related to the nature of his physical problem, but did relieve his feelings considerably.

I am prepared to give gfsnuveper a second chance...but the rest of you, including the googlebots, are dead meat.
A brown paper bag will do the trick says mumpad. She obviously speaks from experience.

I on the other hand treat this rather more seriously. Come on out to the shed and well see what we can do.
You're not helping......
AT ALL!!!!
Should I send a new piece of floss in, for instance?
What if it gets stuck, too?
Let go of one end and pull it straight out? Alternatively, cut it off short, and the part remaining will hopefully rot out before the teeth - unless it's waxed.
I'm FREE!!!!
I'm FREE!!!!!!!!!
So, another great example of the A2k community helping its own.
NOT.
I am especially heartbroken by my abandonment by Roger and Echi.
I never expected better of the marsupial.
Roger is here!!!!
Sorry Roger.
If I pulled, it threatened to take something with it.
I don't know what I did in the end.....I think I inveigled it out.
Does floss rot?
Surely leaving it there would have caused huge problems....
Hey, I answered as quick as I saw the problem.

Little does the bunny know I am the only person on A2k with any dental training at this time.
Seriously, if floss is caught the best remedy is refloss. Generally floss breaks because it is worn out on the previous tooth or teeth. When reflossing use only a very few strokes before discarding and using a new piece.
New nick for you dlowan.
Flossy!

Call me flossy again and it's the spotlight at night for you!
Hmmm....Interesting, I got it out without reflossing.
It didn't break.......it is the fluffy floss, and its fluff wrapped itself around some damn piece of filling and then WOULDN'T break.
Damn flossing....who knew it was a biological hazard?
Thank God you are free! As soon as I saw your initial post I started planning a campaign involving make-up mirrors, toothpicks and tweezers, but by the time I had it all mapped out, reading each post, I saw you had managed to extricate yourself safely. Well done bun! Dangerous stuff, that.

I know!!!
My life...at least as an acceptable member of society...passed before my eyes.
And, I have to say, I would have liked to have seen more REALLY fantastic sex in there.

But very large feet and you know they say.
