Food Sticks Between Teeth and Bite is Uncomfortable
Have your dentist check 2 things: 1. How is your periodontal condition (bone and gums)? 2. How is your occlusal condition (the way your upper and lower teeth meet eachother)? It goes without saying that they should also check for decay &/or poor fillings or crowns in the teeth involved.

Cavities between the teeth
Teeth are supposed to touch each other. When there is no contact between the teeth then there is a space. This is where food gets caught. There can be multiple causes for the space occurring: 1) A filling has fallen out, 2) There is new decay causing a hole, 3) Bone loss due to gum disease and the teeth have move apart, 4) Poor bite relationship causing the teeth to wear away the contact or separate the teeth. Please see a dentist soon.
