Wisdom teeth..plz help

Question

i got my two teeth pulled on my right side on july 29th. recently i've gotten small food particles caught in the hole on the bottom, and rinsing w/ warm salt water is not removing them. the holes are starting to close. i have a apt at the dentist tomorrow to get it removed, but how can u prevent food from getting in there? and what happens if food gets caught n the hole closes? plus on the top i have a prickly thing sticking out from my gum that has not went away...and no this is not stiches. has this ever happend to anyone...

Answer 1

EITHER GET A SMALL IRRIGATING SYRINGE OR  USE A TURKEY BASTER WITH LUKEWARM WATER TO GENTLY FLUSH OUT THE DEBRIS FROM THE  SOCKET.

Answer 2

As far as the food goes.....ask your dentist tomorrow if he has a little syringe that you can use/have.  My Oral Surgeon gave me one at my first appointment after having my teeth pulled.  It works great, all you have to do is put water in it and squirt the water (gently) in the hole and the food will come out.

I have no clue what the "prickly thing" could be.
