I had the very back molar on bottom pulled out last Thursday. I've had teeth out in the past and not had a problem but they were on the top. This is the gross bit - being on the bottom and given it was a pretty huge tooth, there is a massively deep hole and food keeps sitting in it. I am chewing on the other side, but food still makes it's way over there. I was told to rinse with salt water, but it still doesn't seem to move some of the bits, been looking with a torch....it heals from the bottom though right? It's not going to heal over the food right (sorry that's really yuck!).

Just to clarify, I have no pain, I have had no pain at all post extraction, not even when the local wore off so I don't think there's a clotting issue. When I look at it with a torch, it's quite black though, around the edges of the hole, but he did have to do a fair bit of wiggling and poking so I assume that's just bruising. It did also have a rather large abscess under it which I had 2 courses of AB for prior and he cleaned it out at extraction as well.

Anyway, so if I've turned anyone's stomach! Any advice though. I can ring the dentist, but he's not there till Tuesday.
