Should you worry about food getting stuck in the socket where your wisdom teeth were pulled?

Just avoid foods that are hard and crunchy for about two weeks. This would include nuts and popcorn, that type of food. You are trying to avoid getting something stuck in the socket that could delay the healing process or cause an infection. Usually by two weeks, the gum tissue should close the socket (epithelize) so food will not be a concern.
Unless you begin to feel increasing pain days after the extraction, don't worry about it. The sockets are usually self-cleansing. If you do feel increasing pain, call the surgeon and let him/her take a look. Follow their advice.

I had mine pulled and I found that talking did not cause any harm. It is more of an issue as to what you eat. If you eat the wrong things and or if you get dry socket you will not be happy.
