I had my wisdom tooth removed 2 weeks back. A small socket has formed where food is getting stuck. Even after many gargles food not coming out. I experience no pain but it is annoying.
Is this a health issue.

It is nothing to worry about. Please visit your dentist and have it checked. you would most likely require a local irrigation and depending on the size of the socket, they would suggest any further management.
