Can I drink cold beverages after tooth extraction?

In general, it is not recommended to drink cold beverages after tooth extraction. Tooth extraction causes trauma at the extraction site, and consuming cold drinks can stimulate the nerves in this area, leading to pain and interfering with healing. After extraction, some dental tissue may remain; drinking cold beverages could freeze the residual tissue around the tooth root, potentially damaging the root and affecting dental repair. Additionally, some bleeding is expected after extraction, and cold drinks may prolong bleeding time, thus impairing the healing process at the extraction site.
