4 non impacted wisdom teeth removed and food keeps getting trapped even when i rinse with salt water. should i be worried? no pain.

Don't worry: Gradually the extraction site will fill back in. If you are even the least bit concerned, however, see the General Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon that removed the teeth. It's all part of your post-surgical care.
