If you get food into a tooth extraction hole, it can cause pain, infection, and decrease the healing time. Your doctor should have given you a syringe that you can use to squirt water into the hole to get any food out.

What do you do after a tooth extraction and how long will it bleed for?

after a tooth extraction just be careful not to disturb the clot formation process....by sipping through a straw,smoking,rinsing.and spiting...the quicker the clot gets formed the faster the bleeding will stop....typically by applying pressure on the extraction site by biting on the gauze given by the doctor and holding it for 45mins to 1hour reduces the bleeding till gradually its gone...if bleeding gets worse check with your doctor
