Tony, I had two wisdom teeth extracted. The first was nearly 40 years ago, and required the dental surgeon to suture the hole that remained. I spent the rest of the day in bed, and gargled with salt water per his instruction. But, thank goodness, I didn't have any problems. No restrictions on eating, drinking or exercise. The second was badly decayed on the inside, and my dentist simply gave it a quick yank--no sutures, no restrictions.
Yours may be a more serious case. And, I'm mindful that you live in Brasil, and Brasil may have different standards for dental surgery. Also: did you get total anesthesia? Or just a local in your gums? Total anesthesia may require more recovery time and have alcohol restrictions.

thanks Turnbull. you're a good man keep this coming and I'll be partying hard tommorow night! I'll have to extract the other 2 and the surgeon said those are going to be tough; plus, the whole thing lasted less than 25 minutes, so I guess this is not any more serious than your everyday average wisdom teeth extraction. about different standards, I did a quick research on what seems to be a stand up web site and the instructions are basically the same. it's the instruction about smoking that's bugging me: Avoid rinsing or spitting for 24 hours after tooth extraction;
avoid "sucking" actions (for example, don't drink beverages through straws or smoke) my friend said that you absolutely can't smoke until you remove the stitches. in 7 days from now! but he never puffed a joint in his life and now my good friends in the internet are triggering me into going out and partying. what should I do?

FWIW, Years ago I had 3-4 removed all at once (in addition to another tooth that needed extraction), and it was nothing. Granted, then, I was working in the city and when I had the toothache I just walked into David Letterman's dentist office, so I guess they were good. I've since had a few issues, and the sheet said not to do this or that, but I did anyway, and had no problems. I'm not a doctor or dentist, of course, but if it's not bleeding, you should be okay....

As TB said, "I can't say anything more, Tony. I'm not a health care professonal." -- take it or leave it.

I won't even go into how much work I've had done in my mouth. Extraction of the wisdom teeth for me, was minor in comparison. However, like TB suggested, the level of pain may depend on how easily these teeth are extracted. Of course the decision is yours, and like others, I am not a health care professional either, BUT common concern would suggest you might not want to drink while on medication. Not only due to the mix of the pills and the booze, but the risk of infection is always possible. Take care TIS

thank you all. between Turnbull and JG triggering me into going out and partying hard and SB throwing a bucket of cold water in my head, I belive I have a nice blend of medical instructions I'm not in pain anymore so I think I'll stop with the painkillers today. nevertheless, I definitely can hold on to a few more days without a drink especially because of the risk of infection which they took the time to scare me with. but as for smoking, it's much harder.

I hear ya on the smoking. I don't smoke anymore, nor do I suggest you should after these extractions. However, I am guilty of continuing to smoke after these dental procedures. I did try to restrain as much as possible though. Luckily for me, I had no infections but it's not to say it couldn't have complicated matters. It's best not to I'm sure. TIS

My understanding was, that alcohol and smoking might increase the risk of bleeding (decreased clotting). I had no bleeding, so figured there'd be no further risk and after plenty of opportunities over the years, apparently had no problems with that. That it might be the "immune system" (BS IMHO, mine's fine, no matter what I've done -- but that could just be me, too, but) if you just listen to your body, you'll know if there's a problem or not most of the time. If you "feel wrong", see a doctor. Otherwise, don't add stress to your system.....
