Upper Molar extraction,Aftercare advice.

[HammerJeff]

Hi there everyone,

Had very back upper molar extracted 3 days ago.

Everything going well,soft foods only,rinsing with warm salted water, no alcohol etc.

I don’t smoke but am attending a wedding on day 5.

Not liking juices or soft drinks would an alcohol free beer be safe.I would have thought so but looking for confirmation especially if I used a straw.

Many thanks.

Good day

Stay away from a straw, since the suctioning effect can dislodge the blood clot if it is not fully stable yet, although by day 5 this should not be the case.
