how long after having wisdom teeth pulled do you have to wait before you drinking alcoholic beverages?

Question

Would something happen to the stitches or to my teeth if i drink wine or some alcoholic beverage?

Answer 1

Wisdom teeth: In my opinion at least 24 if not 48 hours. Having said that you do not want to mix alcohol with the pain meds that may be prescribed so be prudent and talk to your oral surgeon.

Answer 2

5-6 days: As long as you are healing normally with no complications you should be able to resume reasonable consumption of alcoholic beverages after 5-6 days with out hurting the healing process.

Answer 3

Depends: Most people recover in two to three days providing all went well. If you develop infection or dry socket it can be longer or if you have underlying problems. I have had great results in speeding recovery by taking homeopathic arnica and hypericum. Those two remedies help reduce swelling and discomfort!

Answer 4

Varies: Every patient recovers differently. One patient may have four wisdom teeth surgically removed and return to his or her preop lifestyle the same or next day. Another patient may have an uncomplicated extraction of an erupted wisdom tooth and require 3- 4 days or more to "recover". Typically, most patients rest for 2-3 days following surgery.

Answer 5

Taking meds: Only use drugs prescribed by the doctor exactly as told, their have been teen overdoses with death after misuse or misprescribing pain meds with wisdom tooth extraction.

Answer 6

Yes: If your are referring to medications that you normally take as prescribed by your physician, your dentist or surgeon will tell you which ones you should or should not take prior to surgery as some can have adverse effects with the anesthetic and/or surgery itself. If you are prescribed medication to take before or after your surgery by your dentist or surgeon, follow the instructions.

Answer 7

Depends: Sedation likely? Depends on location and degree of impaction and accesability. You could likely plan on about 2 hours from start to finish if sedation, but the actual time to get them all out could range from 20min to 1.5 hrs. Ask your provider.

Answer 8

It can vary: The time required to remove four wisdom teeth can vary depending on several variables. Removal of an erupted wisdom tooth sometimes can take as long as an impacted one. The position of the tooth, physical size of the patient, anxiety level, whether or not sedation is used or not, and experience of the surgeon and his surgical technique are all factors that can influence how long the surgery is.

Answer 9

Location: Wisdom teeth are regular teeth-- they're just the ones in the back- the 3rd molars.

Answer 10

More difficult: Wisdom teeth are the ones on the back- 3rd molar. Due to the location- many time, it is not easy to remove them -especially if the teeth are not coming out properly as supposed to- then it will give a bit more difficulty in pulling them out.

Answer 11

Location/difficulty: Wisdom teeth are just teeth! there are times that they are very difficult to do and need to be surgical exposed to get them out. They have a higher risk of difficulty however erupted/partially erupted wisdom teeth in my experience have been easier than other molars.

Answer 12

Depends: If your dentist has recommended this because of a current problem, then do so quickly. If recommened as part of a good preventative strategy, then you may plan for a convenient time..For example, if you're a student, you may want to wait for a school break to allow yourself time to heal after the extraction procedure.

Answer 13

Not long: If you are having any symptoms such as pain or swelling, it is advisable to have this taken care of fairly soon. Infections involving wisdom teeth can get serious very quickly. If you are not having any symptoms, talk to your dentist or oral surgeon about whether they need to come out or the appropriate time to take them out.

Answer 14

As soon as . . .: Wait until your surgeon has an opening on his schedule. Kidding. At the age of 31, you should have the wisdom teeth removed if they are a problem or contributing to a problem or potential problem. Your dentist and/or surgeon can provide you with recommendations to remove or not remove after an examination with the appropriate x-rays have been performed.
