Food in my tooth extraction site??!


Question: Food in my tooth extraction site!?!?
I got two baby teeth pulled last week on Wednesday!. They are two bottom teeth, and I went to the ortho!. today to have my bottom brackets put on, and everything is healing good!.

I have a question though!.!.!.!. everytime I eat, some piece of food gets stuck in the hole where the tooth was!. Its kinda annoying but usually it falls out eventually and i havent been messing with it cuz I dont wanna mess up the blood clot or something!. now that I have my braces on theres a wire going across the hole so even if I wanted to pick a piece of food out I wouldnt be able to!. would a piece of food stuck in my extraction site cause any problems!?!? u cant get an infection from it can u!?!? remember its been a week!. thanks!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
