A member asked:
Got wisdom teeth out but didn't need stitches. is it bad if food gets stuck in those holes and i can't get it out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Holes fill in soon: If no pain, keep the holes clean, irrigate, & they will fill in before you know it. If there is pain associated, the holes may need to be irrigated and packed by the surgeon.
