When can you resume drinking out of a straw after wisdom teeth extraction?

A week or more ... : It is best to avoid sucking out of a straw for a couple of weeks. The first few days are the most concerning, but better to be safe than sorry and experience a painful dry socket.

Shorthly: Give it a week or two.

Sutures removed? : If your sutures have been removed then it is safe for you to begin drinking through a straw again. If you are worried about it wait a few more weeks but you are fine.

Several days: After 48 hours the clot should be stabilized and gentle drinking through a straw should be ok, but check with your surgeon to make sure cause you situation may vary.

Dry socket: The reason you are asked not to drink with straw is to prevent sucking the clot out of the socket and causing a painful dry socket. After a week, the chance of a dry socket is reduced and straw use is ok.
