I heard somewhere that you can't drink milk after tooth extraction. Why could this be?

1 Answer

Answer :

Clearly because of the risk of infection. The same way you can't eat after a tooth extraction, because only an open wound opens in a person's mouth at that time. And milk begins to break down particularly quickly.
