A member asked:
Could i drink soda if i have a dry socket?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: The main issue with a dry socket under treatment is to not disturb or displace any dressings that have been placed there. While no dentist would recommend soda over more healthy choices, careful drinking without using a straw is not specifically contraindicated.

Not recommended: Sodas are very acidic, therefore, it can irritate the bone making the dry socket more prone to infection.
