Popcorn hulls in my teeth/throat?

I have an issue with getting popcorn hulls out of my teeth. They get stuck behind my teeth and between my teeth and no matter how much floss and toothpicks I use, I can't get them out! They just sit there are hurt. How do I get them out of my teeth/throat?

    First, do a very good job of rinsing. Don't just swish water around for a second or two, but really shake it back and forth in your mouth for a good 60 seconds--more if you can stand it. That will soften up the popcorn hulls. After that, floss should have no trouble getting out the hulls.
