Dentist Questions Tooth extraction

When can I drink coffee after my tooth extraction?

I'm going to have a tooth extraction next week, and I want to know when it would be okay to have coffee after my extraction. Do I have to wait a bit before having my first cup?

Usually we recommend nothing hot or spicy for 24 hours after tooth extraction

Make sure you check with the surgeon. Most likely you can drink coffee as soon as the anesthetic wears off.
You can drink coffee anytime after the anesthetic has worn off. Just be careful it's not too hot.
