It is best to wait 24 hours before consuming any liquids other than water following wisdom teeth removal. This gives your gums and extraction site time to heal and begin the clotting process. After the initial 24 hour period, you can slowly introduce other liquids back into your diet including clear soups, broths, juices and smoothies. Avoid hot liquids or anything with small particles as these can irritate your gums and disrupt the healing process. If you have any questions or concerns about what you can eat or drink after wisdom teeth removal, be sure to ask your dentist or oral surgeon.
