Yes, please stay hydrated to aid in faster recovery
Yes, just avoid hot or super cold water as after deep cleaning the teeth may be more sensitive to the temperature
Yes. But watch the temperature - too cold may be sensitive for a while. If so, get a toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
Good luck.

Yep, but you may be sensitive.
Yes, of course. Also, you may try to rinse with warm salt water because that will help your gums heal faster.
Yes, drinking water is not a problem .

Absolutely you may drink water after a deep cleaning. Sometimes a medication is placed under the gums to help healing and you may be asked to refrain from drinking or eating for an hour to allow the medication to be absorbed. But drinking water is essential for body hydration and removal of toxins.
Yes. There is no contraindication to drinking water after a deep cleaning. If procedures such as antibiotic therapy or fluoride treatment was also completed, consult your dentist for after care instructions.
