What Causes Irritation In Mouth On Drinking Alcohol After Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extracted with sutures and gum grafts also in front 5 days ago and flipper insert. Returned today for post op check - all healing well. UNTIL tonight I ordered a vodka & water with lemons not even thinking and set mouth on fire! Didn't even drink half but being in restuarant did not remove my flipper! Left immediately for home and rinsed with warm salt water and leaving flipper out but mouth feels very irritated! Please advise... Thank you!

You should be adviced to avoid liquor and any soda drinks and also smoking atleast for 10 days after extraction.The irrritation you feel was due to your wound healing and new tissue formation on wound which are so sensitive that they can't tolrate any type of irritation they are just like new borns so,I advice you to avoid such drinks and also cillis till your wound gets completly healed.and rinse your mouth with warm salt water for about 6-7 times a day and specially after eating any thing.you will get well soon.
