After wisdom teeth removal, it is important to drink fluids but with caution. Water, herbal teas, and clear broths are safe and recommended beverages to stay hydrated. Avoid using a straw because the suction can dislodge the blood clot needed for healing. It is best to avoid hot drinks, carbonated beverages, sugary drinks, and especially alcohol for at least 7 to 10 days after the removal. Alcohol can interfere with blood clot formation, delay healing, increase swelling, and interact negatively with pain medications, increasing the risk of complications like dry socket. Generally, drinking water and non- alcoholic, non-acidic, room temperature fluids is advised immediately after the procedure to support recovery.
