If you have food in the holes where your wisdom teeth were will it work its way out eventually?

Some dentists don't put stitches in after removing teeth, but my dentist does and I'm glad he does because it keeps food out. Use warm salted water 3 - 4 times a day and swish around the holes and spit out but DON'T RINSE! Peroxide from your druggist is another good thing (don't need a prescription for this.) It will fizz and help bring up the food from the holes. The best would be to either rinse with water and salt, or to buy a plastic syringe from a pharmacy that you can fill with water and aim it towards the extraction holes and rinse them directly.

Is it possible for there to be no food in the holes where your wisdom teeth got pulled?
Yes it's possible to have food in the holes where you wisdom teeth got pulled. Due to the fact that you could have dry sockets. Always follow the directions that the dentist tells you or you will get dry sockets. When you get dry sockets you have to return to an Oral surgeon weekly to get you goz replaced. I hope this question fulfilled the answer. Thanks.

Use the syringe until the holes in your mouth fill up and they are no longer at risk of infection from food caught up in the sockets.
When can I eat solid foods again I had my wisdom teeth removed about 6 or 7 days ago. I'm feeling perfectly fine. And the only pain I feel is a little soreness.?
You can eat solid foods just a few days after wisdom teeth extraction. 6 days is enough time for the initial healing process. Food might get stuck in the holes where your wisdom teeth were, but you can rinse with water and salt to help clean them.

What is the purpose of wisdom teeth?
Anthropologists believe wisdom teeth, or the third set of molars, were the evolutionary answer to our ancestor's early diet of coarse, rough food - like leaves, roots, nuts and meats - which required more chewing power and resulted in excessive wear of the teeth. The modern diet with its softer foods, along with marvels of modern technologies such as forks, spoons and knives, has made the need for wisdom teeth nonexistent. As a result, evolutionary biologists now classify wisdom teeth as vestigial organs, or body parts that have become functionless due to evolution. Because human jaws have become smaller throughout evolutionary history, when wisdom teeth form they often become impacted, or blocked, by the other teeth around them. Also, if the tooth partially erupts, food can get trapped in the gum tissue surrounding it, which can lead to bacteria growth and, possibly, a serious infection.
what to eat after wisdom teeth extractions?
Having had this procedure myself, start with soups, or very soft foods. Avoid crunchy, or chewy foods, even if chewed with your front teeth, you could get pieces lodged in the holes, or even tear stitches (if you got them), not to mention the pain if a piece of hard food gets stuck in them!

the bottom front teeth are incisors, a single-rooted teeth with a sharp, thin edge. they are designed to cut food without the application of heavy force. molars are much larger, usually having 4 or more cusps. the function of the 12 molars is the chew or grind up food. maxillary & mandibular molars differ from each other with their shape, size & number of cusps, & roots.
