Root beer float after wisdom teeth extraction?

Question

I am 14, and recently got all four wisdom teeth out, as well as two bicuspids on the top row. I was told that ice cream was fine, but drinking carbonated drinks could cause dry sockets.

I had those teeth extracted on Thursday Oct. 4, and it is now Monday Oct. 8. Is it safe to drink root beer floats yet? Or should I hold off for another few days?
Thank you.

Answer 1

u already waited 4 days .. a few days more wont hurt you , right? patience is always a virtue..

Answer 2

I'd say go for it....usually the carbonation in root beer floats goes away when you add the icecream and it isn't fizzy like just regular rootbeer floats....enjoy! :) If you are concerned, drink some water afterwards to rinse out your mouth

Answer 3

Hold off until you get your stitches out- you don't want to take a chance with a dry socket, it is very painful. And whatever you do have, don't drink it with a straw!!

Answer 4

I wouldn't drink it.
Do you know how bad a dry socket hurts?
I had one and it was the worse pain in my life.
I think you should speak with the dentist first.

Answer 5

You should probably hold off for 10 days just to be safe....believe me - you don't want "dry sockets".

Answer 6

Drink through a straw to try and stop it swishing around the mouth and dislodging a clot. Another few days and it should be fine.

Answer 7

The float is fine but DO NOT use a straw. if you sick one of your clots loose (I know that is sick) you may get a dry socket.

Answer 8

You should probably wait or if you don't want to wait call you doctor and find out

Answer 9

i would call the nurse from your surgeons office and ask .
