Hello! One Week Ago I Had A Second Molar And

default
Posted on Sun, 16 Feb 2020
Question: Hello! One week ago I had a second molar and the wisdom tooth behind it extracted. The wisdom tooth extraction was difficult, and it had to be removed surgically. After having pain since the extraction, I visited my dentist today and he said I had developed dry socket and he packed the area with the clove oil and anesthetic. Is it safe to drink coffee at this point -- it's been four hours since the site was packed...? And would you suggest that I should only eat extremely soft food not requiring chewing, like yogurt, mashed potatoes, etc.? Thank you!
