Can I drink beer after having my wisdom teeth removed?
Oh dear, I have to be honest. While you might be craving a cold beer, it's not recommended to drink alcohol, including beer, after having a wisdom tooth removal. It can interfere with the healing process.
Really? How long should I wait before having a beer?
Usually, dentists recommend waiting at least 72 hours or 3 days before consuming any alcohol after a wisdom tooth extraction. It's best to wait until you're no longer taking any pain medications, and your healing is progressing well.
What would happen if I drink beer before it's time?
Drinking beer too soon could lead to a dry socket condition, which is very painful. Alcohol can slow down the healing process and can interfere with any pain medications you might be taking. So, better to be safe than sorry.
Got it, thanks for the advice, Tiny cute kitty.
You're always welcome, dear! Take care, and heal quickly!
