Answer 1

It is better to avoid drinks which are either too hot or too cold immediately after any dental treatment. Especially if your mouth is still numb you might scald it. There is also the issue of increased sensitivity. You won't do any damage but I guess it's at your risk as they say.

Answer 2

yeah, I reckon you'll be ok, it's only fluids, it's not as if your chewing...but to double check, just give you dentist a quick call.

Answer 3

yes its alright although they normally reccomend that you dont eat for about 2-3 hours after

Answer 4

wait 30 mins before eating, fluid is allowed as they encourage you to swirl the water into the sink!

Answer 5

Not very hot. You will have no feeling and therefore won't know if it is scalding you.

Answer 6

if i remember correctly you cant have anything which touches the tooth, i had a milkshake straight after and used a straw to keep it away from the tooth. what you may find is everything tastes horrid even things you like.

Answer 7

IMO It is not recommended - purely 'cos you do not realise just how hot the drink is.

Let it cool a bit first!  I have 1st hand experience of this!  Trust me, it hurts later and blisters badly if you don't think to check how hot it is.

Answer 8

drink what u like u wont feel a thing
