“What should you not drink after a tooth extraction?”
I am a 25 year old female. I want to know what should you not drink after a tooth extraction?

Carbonated beverages, alcohol containing beverages and anything that might in some way dislodge the clot.
Not sure exactly what you mean, but a few to mention are alcohol, hot drinks, spicy drinks. Don’t swish vigorously any fluid in your mouth for at least 48 hours.
If you haven't had the extraction yet, make sure you ask your dentist about this because every case has some differences depending on the complexity of the extraction. If you've already had the extraction, hopefully, you got a sheet of instructions about eating and drinking afterward - if you didn't, you should call the dentist and inquire about this. What you drink isn't
nearly as important as how you drink it - the use of a straw is absolutely forbidden after extraction due to the problems associated with damaging the clotting that needs to take place at the extraction site.
