\"Cup<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re like an estimated 67% of American adults, you rely on at least one serving of coffee per day to keep you energized. However, if you have a major upcoming dental procedure, like a tooth extraction,<\/a> you might have to temporarily sacrifice your daily cup of joe until you\u2019ve recovered. It\u2019s natural to feel frustrated by the change to your routine, but it\u2019s for good reasons!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue reading to learn more about when you can safely drink coffee after having a tooth pulled and why it\u2019s wise to wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Is Tooth Extraction Recovery Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although you\u2019ll be numbed for the extraction procedure to help you feel calm and comfortable, it\u2019s normal to feel achy and inflamed for a few days afterward. Your mouth must form a blood clot over the site after your appointment to shield the recently exposed nerves and bone tissue. Without it, bacteria can penetrate the tender materials and cause a painful condition known as \u201cdry socket\u201d or lead to infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dental team will provide a detailed list of post-op instructions that are intended to help you heal as efficiently as possible without developing complications. For instance, they\u2019ll likely recommend avoiding strenuous activities that elevate your heart rate, getting lots of rest, drinking plenty of water, and eating soft foods that won\u2019t irritate your teeth and gums. Popular options include scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, yogurt, blended smoothies, and applesauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Can I Drink Coffee After an Extraction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coffee and other hot liquids have the potential to damage or dislodge the blood clot that\u2019s so imperative for a full recovery. Furthermore, the suction created by sipping through a straw can also harm it. Avoiding warm drinks and straws for at least 5 days gives your gums enough time to heal before you indulge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Drink Cold Brew Sooner Than Hot Coffee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re worried that you can\u2019t make it even a single day without your favorite caffeinated beverage, you might wonder whether drinking cold brew is acceptable after your removal. Usually, it\u2019s okay to sip on a cool or room-temperature drink, but you should check with your dentist first. You might want to wait at least 24 hours before you have some, however, to ensure your body can get plenty of rest to support your immune system and avoid an infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to heal after your extraction is to follow your dentist\u2019s post-op orders carefully, even if it means waiting a few days before enjoying a cup of coffee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
