No: Wait for clot to form and all bleeding has stopped .Water will prevent or delay clot formation.

Yes: You should drink plenty of fluids after your surgery, especially if you were sedated and did not have anything to eat or drink 6 - 8 hours prior to surgery. When you drink, drink from a glass and avoid using a straw.

Yes: Yes, you should take in plenty of fluids after your surgery to help promote proper healing. No straws, no carbonated beverages -- do not want to suck the blood clot out and develop a dry socket. Follow your Surgeon's instructions exactly for best healing course. Good Luck.
