Consuming alcohol after a tooth extraction is not considered good practice in the dental office.
Dental extraction consists of removing a tooth from the oral cavity, performed when it is not possible to save the tooth and other treatments have failed.
This type of procedure is performed when the crown of the tooth has been weakened, fractured, or has not erupted, such as in the case of wisdom teeth.
It is best not to drink alcohol after tooth extraction, a blood clot must form to help with the healing process.
Alcohol restrictions are not forever, but it is best if you are going to consume it to wait at least 10 to 15 days after the procedure.
If you’re planning to drink alcohol after a tooth extraction, the best thing to do after the intervention is to follow the dentist’s recommendations step by step.
