No. : No. Try not to get food stuck in that hole it could cause an infection and pain. Just follow the instructions you received when they performed the procedure. Otherwise it will heal with time.

Post extraction: I sounds like you are healing normally. Continue to follow the instructions by the extracting dentist and your healing will continue. There is nothing to worry about at this time.
