Why can not drink alcoholic drinks after a tooth has been removed?
Answers:
Alcohol increases blood flow. As your blood pressure increases your "wound" will bleed easier the blood cloth that should be forming in there can be dislodged and you can get a nasty infection.
Also avoid using straws and smoking (any sucking motion) because it cause the same thing.
because it could get infected or if you are taking medications it could make you sick.
most likely because your on pain meds
You mean ever? I didn't know that but, I can tell you to take no notice...the occasional drink will be fine.
Seriously, prob. something about alcohol opening the capillaries and making the tooth hole bleed...yuk...pass my wine.
i dont know but if you really find the need to drink after you get your tooth pulled.. which ussually happens in the morning... you shouldn't be drinking or getting a tooth pulled... you should be driving to an AA meeting
Because thre will be an open wound where your tooth has come out, so the alcohol will go straight into your bloodstream, which is dangerous as the pure alcohol content will be high and make you ill, not just drunk.
because alcohol is a toxic substance to your body, and because you have other pain medicine, and you do not need alcohol to make you sick. If .you have problem staying off alcohol look for a AA meeting in your area
Generally they give you antibiotics, and taking any alcohol cancels out the antibiotics.
Your question has several possible answers. Perhaps you were sedated to have the tooth removed--the drugs will remain in your system for several hours although you may be awake and alert now. The alcohol will interact with the drugs in the blood stream and cause a magnified narcotic effect or overdose. Or perhaps you were prescribed a narcotic for pain. The same effect may result if alcohol and pain pills are taken together.
Second: Alcohol thins the blood and may cause prolonged bleeding or inhibit the formation of the clot needed to heal the socket where the tooth has been removed. It is very important that the clot stay intact as the result will be what is called a "dry socket." Which, simply described, is exposed bone and is very painful. If the blood clot is disolved or dislodged you will need to see your dentist to have the socket packed for comfort during the healing process.
It is best just to avoid drinking for a few days to ensure your health during the process of healing. Remember, tooth extraction is considered surgery.
It's b/c alcohol thins your blood! If you already have an open wound that's "somewhat" bleeding, drinking alcohol will cause you to bleed more. Also, if you're taking pain meds, drinking alcohol w/ them can cause a severe adverse affect.
Usually it's OK to drink, w/i moderation (1-2 drinks), w/i a day or two as long as you're not taking the meds.
Be careful and good luck.
