Is it ok to drink right after a wisdom tooth extraction?

Yes: Yes, keep yourself wel hydrated. 8 glasses of water per day, no hard rinsing . No alchohol - alchohol may slow down healing or contaminate the clot.

Yes: Ok to drink liquids, but should not try to drink with a straw or swish it around. The blood clot must remain intact and rinsing can disrupt the clot formation and lead to infection.

Alcohol? No: No alcohol right after surgery. Can promote bleeding. Otherwise, drinking fluids fine. No straw. For best results with wisdom teeth, make sure you are evaluated and treated by a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
