Hello, Once a tooth has been extracted, there is a long period of healing. Depending on the bone lost, there may be a concavity that catches food as it continues to heal. Sometimes their is extra tissue which can easily be reduced if there is a flap that catches food. If your socket is infected, you may have a bad taste and Chat Doctor.  A piece if tooth or bone may be present and needs to be removed. Rinse the area vigorously and clean well. Plan a return visit to your dentist or oral surgeon to evaluate the extraction site if symptoms persist. Thank you for your inquiry.
