Alcohol and Tooth Extraction

After you have had a tooth pulled out, or after any kind of surgery in your mouth, there shouldn't be officially any problems for having an alcoholic drink.

The important thing to consider is that after that kind of surgery, the dentist or dental surgeon usually prescribes medication, either antibiotics or pain killers. Most of those drugs should not be mixed with alcohol at all. Sometimes such a mix can even be poisonous.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is advisable to avoid alcohol after a tooth extraction or any type of oral surgery. This can also be discussed with your dentist after the extraction.
