about two hours after tooth extraction, we can start eating warm and cold liquid foods, so we can drink yogurt, but don't suck yogurt with a straw. We can scoop yogurt directly into our mouths and swallow it directly instead of sucking it with a straw. Because there is negative pressure when sucking with a straw, it may affect our blood clot formation. If the blood clot falls off, it is likely to cause postoperative infection. Therefore, after tooth extraction, use a small spoon to scoop yogurt, which can be eaten. After tooth extraction, we must protect the blood clot on the tooth extraction wound, otherwise it is easy to cause infection.
