How Can A 13mm Long White Worm Get Stuck Between The Teeth And Where It Could Have Come From?
Hi I felt something stuck between my teeth so flossed, what I was expecting to be a bit of bacon looked like a little wood louse or something, a few seconds later it started moving and expanding and is a white worm about 13ml long. What is it and where did it come from?

hi
welcome to HCm
if it is worm then it is called as maggots which is usually due to bad oral hygine, immuno compressed patient. better you visit dentist get removal of this.
dont worry if it is maggot then by chemical application, it will come out.
thank you
