A member asked:
My 20 yr old daughter had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted a week ago today, can she start to drink from a straw today or can it still cause a dry socket?

Should be ok: Your doctor should have given the full instructions even before you left the doctor's office....a week is a long time, incase, your doctor instructed not to.....there has to be a specific reason, please call them and clear your concerns
