10 days post molar extraction. food bit stuck in the site, rinsing wont work, will it eventually out on its own&the site will be okay?

See dentist: Have it removed because it will interfere with healing. Continue to rinse and try. All the best.

Needs evaluation: Go back to your dentist, & have him check the wound. He needs to make sure, wound is healing well. He may be able to take the food particle out. You may also be feeling a sharp bone.
