Food stuck in my teeth/mouth

Alright, I’ve got a bit of a nagging little issue here.
I’ve had a tiny piece of food stuck in my mouth for two days now. It’s hard to describe exactly where—😁 it isn't in my gums or tucked between my teeth, but rather in that soft tissue at the back of my throat when I open wide. I have no idea how it even got lodged there, but this happens to me maybe four or five times a year. (Usually after eating almonds or something similarly crunchy that gets stuck).

It doesn't actually hurt, it just feels irritating right under my tongue. And honestly? Once I finally manage to get it out, it smells. Like, really bad. 😂 I'm pretty sure it makes my whole mouth smell, too. I’ve tried fishing it out with a toothbrush, a toothpick, and even gargling mouthwash, but nothing works. All I end up doing is irritating the surrounding tissue, which stays swollen for a few days until the thing finally pops out on its own.

What should I do? Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Any tips on how to get it out? 🤷

Do you have a water flosser handy? You might be able to flush it out with that..

Or just try using a regular showerhead if you don't have the specialized one, assuming you can aim it toward the spot.

Toothpaste tablets?
What exactly are those?
Where can I find them?
And what’s the actual point of using them—besides being different?

It's for spraying your teeth and blasting out food stuck deep in your gums. 😂

So, that's the unit itself. Prices hover around $200 (this competitor is $267), though there are cheaper and pricier options... personally, it's great since I wear braces, so I feel more confident knowing everything is actually clean. It might be pricey, I guess, but it's a lifetime investment.

This is a combo deal—the flosser plus an electric toothbrush...$433..but if you just want the flosser, you can buy them separately...
Where to find them? You could probably find them at a Target or Walmart, or definitely at any electronics store. Basically, anywhere that carries Braun products, for instance.
