A member asked:
I accidentally used a straw without thinking a day after getting my wisdom teeth extracted. what could this have done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dont worry: Probably nothing. A straw causes negative pressure which can cause bleeding or loss of the clot that needs to form to aid in healing. If you are ok don't worry. If concerned though call your treating doctor.
