Under normal circumstances, you should drink water 2 hours after wisdom tooth extraction and brush and rinse your teeth 24 hours later. Drinking water 2 hours after extraction will not wash out the blood clot, but you should not rinse or suck hard enough to dislodge the clot.
The blood clot is vital to the healing of the extraction wound. The connective tissue and bone tissue necessary for the healing of the extraction wound are mechanized from the blood clot. You can drink water normally 2 hours after the extraction, but it is not recommended to drink water immediately and the temperature of the water should not be too high. It is important to note that rinsing the mouth, drinking through a straw, and repeatedly sucking on the wound can cause the blood clot to dislodge.
The dislodgment of the blood clot may cause complications such as reactive pain, post-extraction bleeding, dry socket and other complications to occur. In these cases, it is recommended to visit the hospital in time to receive proper treatment.
