NO STRAW!!!: Drinking right out of a glass is the best way. Do not use a straw, as the sucking motion will cause the clotted blood--a nature's bandaid--to be pulled out. You will then have a dry socket, and slow painful healing. It is good to drink lots of water: it will cleanse the bloody taste off, and helps the body stay rehydrated for better healing.

No straw: Drink as you normally would. No straw however. Make sure you are treated by an oral surgeon for best results.
