Question: 2 of my wisdom teeth were taken out about a week ago, and it still feels a tiny bit sore when I chew...is this normal? Also, is it possible that food bits go into the hole when I chew? Is that bad?

It's normal to feel sore after having them taken out. You should rinse with saltwater if you feel that food is getting caught.

Yes it is normal for your mouth to still be sore. Also, after you eat you may want to rinse out your mouth to help remove the food that gets in the holes. They should be healed, but it might be a good habit for a few days.
