Suggest Treatment For Dent After Wisdom Tooth Extracted

I got my wisdom teeth extracted about ten days ago and have been trying to rinse with the syringe. The bottom right socket is extremely deep, the entire syringe doesnt fill it. I can see bits of food stuck in there and possibly one large particle that won't dislodge. I'm really worried because inside the socket looks almost like barnacles on a ship. What should I do?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The socket will be open till it get healed completely by formation of a granulation tissue. nothing to be panic, its common to have food lodgement. Do thorough rinsing of you mouth soon after eating anything. Even after rinsing your mouth if the debris still remains in the socket consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon or a dentist and get the socket irrigated with saline. Do it on alternative days for a week.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
