Why am I suddenly curious if there are studies on this?

I'm not sure about this specific scenario (bjs) but I know when I had my wisdom teeth removed the thanksgiving before last I was told I couldn't suck on anything, because it'd risk opening the gaping holes where the teeth had been up by sucking out or loosening the blood clots, which obviously wouldn't be good. Squee had her wisdom teeth removed just last Thursday I believe so, yeah.

Really though, if you could even open your mouth wide enough to do that I'd be impressed. I could barely open my mouth for the first couple of days and even after that, if I opened my mouth very far my stitches would rub together and hurt because of the swelling.
