Food in my tooth extraction site??!
Question: Food in my tooth extraction site.?.?
I got two baby teeth pulled last week on Wednesday.. They are two bottom teeth, and I went to the ortho.. today to have my bottom brackets put on, and everything is healing good..
I have a question though........ everytime I eat, some piece of food gets stuck in the hole where the tooth was.. Its kinda annoying but usually it falls out eventually and i havent been messing with it cuz I dont wanna mess up the blood clot or something.. now that I have my braces on theres a wire going across the hole so even if I wanted to pick a piece of food out I wouldnt be able to.. would a piece of food stuck in my extraction site cause any problems.?.? u cant get an infection from it can u.?.? remember its been a week.. thanks!!Health Question & Answer
