Fluids encouraged: Fluids are encouraged after extractions, just from a cup or spoon, no straws. The suction or negative pressure in the mouth can make the sites bleed. I recommend clear then full liquids the first day, then soft foods for 4 to 7 days. Avoid alcohol after anesthesia and if taking pain medicines.

Yes, But No Straws : In the beginning, ice on for 20 minutes off for 20 minutes ... Arnica montana or Motrin for pain. Possible narcotic depending on doctor. Drink liquids the first 2 or 3 days, then soft foods for the next week. Remember - 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 & experience a painful dry socket.
