The third day after tooth extraction is not allowed to drink alcohol, because alcohol has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Drinking alcohol will cause bleeding at the tooth extraction site, which is not conducive to wound healing. It may also irritate the wound site, causing toothache and gum swelling. Therefore, you need to abstain from alcohol for a week after tooth extraction.
