A member asked:
Had an extraction of a first molar on my lower jaw. it has been 10 days but food still get stuck in here. tried rinsing with saltwater but one particle of food is still here. can i just leave it in with no problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After ten days the bone would be covered with gingiva and the chance of dry socket is almost nil. Unless you are in pain or swollen, don't worry.
