Dentist Questions Swallowing Problems

Can swallowing disrupt the blood clot?

I recently had my wisdom teeth removed and I had the need to swallow a lot. However, it felt like I was sucking something when I swallowed and I am afraid of dislodging my blood clots. Can swallowing disrupt the blood clot?

Yes.
Not usually. Just don’t suck on the site
Something normal like that will not. It is usually a sucking motion (straw), or smoking or alcohol that will disturb a clot.
