Well you can do brushing and all but if having regular problem then visit dentist and have a proper checkup so that you can get free from that daily issue and your teeth will also be safe and healthy.

When I had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted, food would get stuck in those holes all the time. My oral surgeon gave me this tube with a needle like tip where you can push the warm water through into the sockets. But you have to be careful because if you push the water out to fast it could irritate the socket, so just be as gentle as possible. I know its hard to get the fragments of food out, but just be caureful of what you eat.

I agree, warm salt water really helps with cleaning the holes, as it does take time for those holes to be filled. I had my four wisdom teeth extracted, most of my problems were with the lower teeth rather than the upper ones.

Toothpicks can cause much damage and infection. My specialist instructed me to use peroxide rinses or warm salt water. Peroxide really cleans and the warm salt water soothes.

I would try and use some light brushing myself, or a toothpick. In my personal experience though, I wouldn't mess around back there after you just got a surgery, you might knock something loose or make something bleed.

I had my wisdom teeth removed a couple weeks ago, and I still have small holes in the back of my mouth. I always rinse after eating, but I've been unable to remove a small bit of food that has been stuck in one of the holes for a few days. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to get it out?
Thanks.
