It is not recommended to drink alcohol immediately after tooth extraction, but generally seven days after tooth extraction. This is because after tooth extraction, the extraction wound is in the healing period and alcohol will promote blood circulation, leading to the possibility of secondary bleeding from the extraction wound and the formation of a hematoma. Alcohol also causes swelling and pain after the extraction, which increases the patient’s pain. In addition, alcohol can also affect the healing of the extraction wound and in severe cases can cause complications such as inflammation, infection, and dry socket. If you drink alcohol immediately after tooth extraction, it will also cause many anti-inflammatory drugs not to be used or affect the effectiveness of the drugs, which may even be life-threatening in serious cases. Generally, it is recommended to drink alcohol seven days after tooth extraction until the intraoral wound is completely healed.
