can i drink pop after wisdom teeth removal

Hello! As for your question, many dentists recommend waiting at least 48 hours before consuming any carbonated beverages like pop. Why is that? Because carbonation can potentially interfere with the healing process.

The bubbles caused by carbonation can dislodge the blood clot that forms over the extraction site, leading to a condition known as a dry socket, which can be very painful and delay your recovery.

In addition to carbonated drinks, it's generally advised to also avoid drinking alcohol, smoking and consuming hot beverages or foods. Staying well hydrated with non-alcoholic, non-carbonated beverages is key during your recovery.
