Meat in the mouth

The Rav Name: Rabbi Boaz Yurkowitz

Shalom Rabbi! I waited six hours after a meat meal, but then found a piece of meat between my teeth. Do I need to wait another six hours?

According to Halachah, you may remove the piece of meat from your mouth, rinse your mouth, and then you may eat dairy. If however, you swallowed the piece of meat, then you must wait another six hours.
