What Is The Reason For Pain Due To Food Particles Being Lodged Between Teeth?

For the last two years I have had an issue with food particles being lodged up in between my back two molars on the right side of my mouth. My dentist showed me an x=ray and the issue is caused by what he describes as a funnel between the two teeth. The two teeth come very close together in the middle and form what looks like an hourglass. I purchased a waterpik which seemed to help but lately the issue has been getting worse. I am finding myself using my waterpik after every meal that involves food such as meat, tough vegetables (uncooked), or peanuts. Many times the pain persists until the following day even after a thorough cleaning. The only solution I have been given would be to cut the tooth down and put a crown on which was not advised and is not something I want to consider just yet. Does anyone else have some advice on what can be done about this issue?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The only option for this is feeling of gap with the synthetic material, or else the given advise by the dentist would be much better in my opinion, it is up to you whether to clean the teeth every after meal or follow the advise have nice day.
