No.

Food building up in the socket or stitches will often cause an infection or 'dry socket'. This is a painful condition where the tissue of the gum fails to close over the bone area and leaves nerves exposed.

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.


How long do you need to Use a syringe after wisdom teeth extraction?

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.


Why can't you eat crunchy food after wisdom teeth removal?

Eating any food after the procedure is not good, since you may mess up the surgical procedure; but it is not true that you cannot eat crunchy foods after a day or two. If this were so, children who do not have their wisdom teeth could not eat any crunchy foods, which tend to be the most common type of children snacks.


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!


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.


What can you eat after the removal of your wisdom teeth?

Anything that makes you comfortable. That would probably rule out hard food. Another thing, it would be a good idea to avoid hot drinks , steaming food and also cigarrettes for one day after the procedure.

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.
