“Can I drink water after wisdom teeth removal?”
I'm 32, and I need to have my wisdom teeth removed next week and it's going to be all 4 of them. Can I drink water after wisdom tooth removal?

You may drink water but you cannot swish the water around in your mouth or you could dislodge one of the blood clots that forms in your tooth sockets. It is better not to disturb the extraction areas but gentile consumption of water if done carefully can be undertaken.
Yes, but not with a straw. Use a cup and do not slurp or create any type of suction.
Your surgeon should give you personalized instructions. Typically, drinking water after the first 1/2 hour, when you stop biting on gauze is fine. You should not use a straw or drink carbonated beverages.
Sure can. Not with a straw. And it may be a bit difficult until the numbness goes away.
Good luck

I don't see why not? but please don't drink from a straw for the first day after the extraction, please. since drinking from a straw may disturb the blood clot in the extraction sockets and cause you to have exposed bone. It would be called a dry socket, Anything you drink preferably needs to be room temperature. Good luck to you for next week!
Yes, you don't want to rinse and swish after wisdom teeth removal, but you can drink water.
You can drink water following this treatment.
Drinking fluids, especially water, is important to remain properly hydrated after surgery. Avoid drinking through a straw after wisdom tooth extraction.
Adequate food intake is also important. Soft, cool foods are generally recommended. Your dentist will give you postoperative instructions after your treatment. Following these instructions will give you the best results.
