I'm wondering how long after a tooth extraction can i eat/drink cold things?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After numbness is: After numbness is gone and you get your feeling back, it is good to have something cold. Cold food keeps the tissue from swelling, and keeps the blood vessels small to minimize bleeding. You may also find cold food is easier to eat than hot/warm food during healing. H.
