How to get pine sap off my teeth

−0

I wanted to emulate old sap gum but it seems I have chewed some sap that was premature.

Now it has covered my gums and teeth. How on earth do I remove this stuff?

What I have tried:

Brushing (slow, damages brush) Isopropyl Alcohol (too painful) Ethanol Alcohol (negligible effect) Picking (works slowly, doesn't get rid of everything) Flossing (same as picking) Oil (negligible effect)

I'm out of ideas... This is really not doing my teeth any good.

Been there, done that, can't remember why it happened..

It will go away in a few days. Eating few apples, or maybe some dry, high-fiber crackers will probably help.

You can use different methods to remove the pine sap from your teeth. Here are a few:

Take a small amount of margarine and rub on the sap
Mix a solution of warm water, salt, and about 3 drops of honey, keep this mixture in your mouth for about 3minutes
use some drinkable strong alcohol and try to rub it of
use oil or peanut butter and rub it over the sap
try to let the sap dry out and then remove it
