As with any surgery where healing needs to be undisturbed, the answer is “No”! For example, after surgical removal of a tooth, I almost always suture the site closed to help retain the blood clot. A drink that may bubble or be effervescent, may dislodge the clot creating a potential for “dry socket”. In implant placement, if that is the question, bone grafting and a barrier membrane may also have been placed and may be affected too.
Simply stay away from any bubbly drink for st least 72 hrs. You spent a lot of money so help maximize the healing process with anything that supports better healing! That clot is necessary and your protection! No Soda!
