I have the same problem. I never got my wisdom teeth taken out.

It is best to stay away from food and drink with extreme temperature variation i.e. hot and cold. Also, foods and drink with high amounts of sugar can irritate an open tooth or one with a large carious lesion (cavity). Soft moist foods will irritate dental pulps (nerves) the least when there may be traumatic occlusion present and an open tooth (dentin exposed). If there is a gum infection around a third molar (wisdom tooth) avoid salty foods as they will irritate the soft tissue.
How do cavities develop in teeth?
There are pits and fissures present naturally on the teeth (premolars & molars). When food particles get stuck into these pits and fissures and are left uncleaned, the microorganisms present in the oral cavity, act on these food particles, ferment it, and liberate lactic acid. This acid de-mineralised the tooth surface resulting in cavity formation. Also, Whenever any food in any form is consumed, a thin bio-film of sucrose (from the food) is left behind on the smooth surfaces of the teeth (mainly incisors and canines), which when left uncleaned attracts the microorganisms from plaque and above mentioned process is repeated resulting in cavity formation.
