The important thing is to avoid anything that will dislodge the blood clot in the extraction site. Premature loss of the blood clot can result in a very painful condition called a "dry socket".
Avoid any unnecessary vigorous sucking or spitting for at least the first week following an extraction.

∙ 13y agoYou really should try NOT to spit after an extraction of any tooth. You can get something called dry socket - ouch! painful.
Just hold onto a tissue and let it drool out. Sounds horrible I know but, you will develop a blood clot where the tooth was pulled and spitting can dislodge the clot and it will start bleeding again.
