Tooth extraction, annoying problems/habits?

Question

after i had 4 teeth pulled out, when i eat, food particles get into my gum hole. i try to use salt, water but it doesnt work. so i use a toothpick, sometimes i push it a little too hard, and it gets annoying, the gap makes me want to l**k the hole, and yeah. and sometimes my tounge licks the hole, and it presses against it, and doesnt feel comfortable, what can i do to not get food particles in and how do i get them out ?

Answer 1

I had the same problem with food getting stuck in my gum hole, but it does get better with time and you will go back to normal so don't worry.

Answer 2

how old are you-- 4 teeth that's a lot.

Answer 3

Use a water syringe to get the food out because if food stays in the hole, it can get infected.
