I get food stuck in my extraction sites (I have 2) all the time! At first I didn't have a problem because I wasn't eating solid foods, but now being just over a week later and eating solid foods again sure doesn't make the situation any better! I just suck them out or drink some water!. Seems to work everytime but since your extractions are fairly new still, creating a suction to get it out might not be the best idea quite yet so continue every 1/2 hr to hour with salt water rinses!. It's only food - it will eventually break down and dislodge itself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Just do the saltwater thing every half hour or so, and don't dig at the site!. If you have a flashlight, you can look to see if you can tell what's up, but don't get too freaked out about it!. I'm sure you'll be fine!. If it's food, it will start to break down and change shapes and disintigrate, so the salt water swishing will dislodge it sooner or later!. Have someone look when they get home!. Best regards!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Gently brush with an ultrasoft toothbrush (that's what my dentist told me when I was in your situation!)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
