Question

I did ghusl, but afterwards I found out that there were some food particles in my teeth. Do I need to do ghusl again or just rinse my mouth again?

Answer

If it is a minor food particle the ghusl is done. And if it is major then just gargle your mouth after removing the food particle.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
