Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like the chicken bone is impacted deep into the gums and it looks deep enough to take out manually on its own..

So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated so that they can use fine tips of teeth cleaning instruments or probe and remove the piece of chicken bone..

You should avoid removing it on your own as it can cause deeper pushing of the chicken bone and can cause deeper infection in the gums..

Also start doing warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
