Would an x-ray show a piece of meat stuck in between a tooth and the gum?

X-rays only detect metals like fillings and minerals like bone and teeth. It does not detect meat or soft tissue like gums. It is very helpful to detect anatomical features and varying densities like cavities in teeth or tumors in bone.
