No...

AnswerNo, because accumulated food might cause infections.

You can try to rinse with water and salt to remove the remaining food. If that doesn't work, you might purchase a plastic syringe from the pharmacy that make it easier to clean the extraction holes.

An easier method is to purchase a "Water Pik" there are stand alone units that cost a fair amount. The cheapest type of water pik to get is a Quick Breeze Oral Irrigator. You attach it to your faucet and you can control the pressure. It can also be used as a water flosser.

Using a watter jet or water pik is a perfect way of removing food and plaque that is still soft, and it has to be used as a regular addition to your daily teeth care, along with brushing and flossing. Here's a video with great info about oral water jet -
