Can anyone tell me how to get food out of my wisdom wooth cavity?!?

I got my lower wisdom tooth removed 3 days ago, and apart from a little nasty pong (normal i think), all has been great. Today (help!!) i've got some food stuck in the cavity and i don't know how to get it out, without sticking my finger in the hole and trying to dig - obviously a bad idea. Someone help!! Also, shuld i still have a hole (my upper wisdom teeth holes seemed to heal over much more quickly, but perhaps this is false memory).

Answer:
don't try to dig it out. you should gargle with warm salt water. make sure all the food particles come out. when i got my wisdom teeth pulled out, i gargled and if i still had food stuck inside, i gargled some more until it came out. if you have stitches (most likely you do), it will eventually come out or "disappear".

my first bottom wisdom tooth, i was rinsing my mouth and the thread came out. the second time around, i guess it disappeared on its own or maybe i just didn't notice that it came out when i gargled or something. my upper wisdom teeth holes did heal up quicker than the bottom ones.
My husband thinks I'm looney, but I bought what I refer to as my "dental torture kit". It is from the G-U-M company, and it has a lighted mirror-on-a-stick and a curved pointy thing. I can move the mirror so that I can see inside the holes of my gum, and then use the pointy hook thing to slooooowly and carefully get the food out. It's way disgusting, and I can't relax if I think there's food in there. I can only imagine getting my gums all infected because of the food in there! Ick!!
