Can I drink coffee after my wisdom tooth removal?
You may be waiting during the whole surgery just to drink your cup of favorite coffee, but you shouldn’t. After your wisdom tooth extraction, you should avoid consuming hot coffee, tea, and other hot drinks for 24-48 hours. The heat from these liquids can irritate the surgery site and damage the healing process.
Does coffee ruin your teeth?
While the side effects from coffee are minimal, it’s important to be aware of the impact this drink may have on your dental health over the long-term. Drinking coffee can stain and discolor teeth, because every time you drink a cup of coffee a layer forms around the tooth that absorbs into the enamel.

In fact, the formation of a blood clot is crucial.
