The same force that is making the liquid climb up the straw and defy gravity is the same force that will be pulling your blood clot from your tooth socket. Removal of the the blood clott is very BAD, and is the primary reason for people having to be hospitalized for pain after wisdom teeth extraction.

you shouldn't drink thru a straw after oral surgery, the suction created in the mouth can break loose healing clots and tissue, cause infection and slow healing. You should not smoke for the same reasons. Wait until the oral surgeon says you can.

The vacuum formed when you suck on the straw (or smoke ciagrettes) can pull the blood clot out. Exposed bone in the socket doesn't like the air and causes pain. It's called a dry socket, and it hurts!

The suction will pull out the blood clot, then your socket will start bleeding again. A tooth has to bleed a certain amount , but so much is not good.

The suction that you produce in your mouth to suck on a straw can suck out any blood clots you have in your mouth.

the back pressure when you pull will lose the blood clog and give a bleeding, then the healing process takes more time
