Wisdom teeth/alcohol?!
Wisdom teeth/alcohol?
tonight[sunday] i'm going to a party where i will be drinking. i am scheduled to have all 4 wisdom teeth removed on tuesday. i was wondering if they would know that i had been drinking, or if it would effect putting me under. does anyone know if they could tell? or if they check your blood? or what..
thank you
Answers:
you will be fine, alcohol does thin your blood, but by then it will be completely out of your system. You need about 24 hours. Drink lots of water. I am a dental hygienist and people ask me that all the time. Don't drink for a couple of weeks after you have the procedure and do not smoke, you could end up with a dry socket. Just mention it to your oral surgeon, the more they know the safer you will be. Also do not take any product containing aspirin for your hangover, this to thins you blood. Tylenol will be fine. ( They don't check your blood.)
