Can you drink coffee after a teeth cleaning?

I just had a teeth cleaning and I want to drink coffee. Can you drink coffee after a teeth cleaning?

If you simply had a professional teeth cleaning, you can certainly drink coffee afterwards. Though it will ruin that nice clean feeling :) However, if you had a professional fluoride treatment, there are certain time and temperature restrictions as to what you can eat and drink, so if you did have a fluoride treatment, your doctor or hygienist should inform you what
you need to avoid to not negate the benefits of the fluoride.
Yes, you can drink coffee after a cleaning. It might stain your teeth, but should not cause any extra issues than it otherwise would.
Unless the hygienist has indicated otherwise. Yes.
