Question
I am having four impacted wisdom teeth pulled soon. How long will I have to avoid drinking Coke? I know drinking out of a straw is out for a while, but what about just drinking out of a glass?
Annie - Assuming there are no problems during the surgery, you can usually drink Coke or any other carbonated beverage within a couple of days. Be sure to advise your surgeon of your desire and see if he has a different opinion.
I wish you the best. If you have any further questions feel free to contact me again.
