How long should it take for the hole to close after an extracted wisdom tooth?

About 2 weeks ago I had a completely impacted wisdom tooth pulled. Anyhow, there is still a small hole where the surgery took place, and it is still a little bothersome because food gets stuck in the hole. About how long should it take for the hole to close up completely?

Believe it or not it could take up to 6 months to completely close up. The hole itself will heal with in 3/5 weeks but the hole my take a really long time to fill in..good luck
