Maybe: Food can easily become lodged in the area where the wisdom tooth was removed. If this is associated with increased ache pain, it may be a dry socket infection developing. See your dentist if these symptoms don't get better.

Food trapped: After wisdom teeth are extracted food may become trapped in the socket.
