Sure: Sure but don't be alarmed if you experience a little more bleeding due to the heat of the tea increasing blood flow to the area. I'd just do it in moderation but if you like warm/hot tea I see nothing wrong with trying to introduce it back into your normal schedule.

Unwise: Can cause clot to wash out resulting in a bone infection called a dry socket. Assuming your extractions were done by a specialist, an Oral Surgeon, you probably left the office with written post-surgical instructions. Please review them.
