A member asked:
Am i allowed to go out for dinner hours after my wisdom tooth extractions?

Sure can! Enjoy: Sure can if you feel well enough. The only thing i would caution against would be using a straw. This can create enough suction to dislodge the clot and lead to a dry socket, which is very painful. Also, no alcohol if you are taking pain medications.

Most likely: But if the extractions are a little difficult, your jaw may be sore making it difficult to chew. You may want to see how you're feeling before committing to that five star french restaurant... All the best...

After extractions...: If you are talking about a nice dinner out, you should consider these issues. Although how difficult the extraction plays the largest role in how you will feel, you will be number for a few hours, sore, have some bleeding, & be limited in what and how you can eat. Yes, you can go, but it might be better to postpone the dinner out for another night when you can enjoy it more.Follow post-op instruct.
